Why do we need QoSMOS ?
• To develop a framework to improve utilisation of
radio spectrum, consistent with co-existence with
other services and opening up of the mobile
broadband value chain,
• A cognitive approach to align with the strategies
of the regulators
• A pan-European effort with a range of partners is
needed to bring all the pieces together and move
them close to market

Objectives
• The main objective is to provide a platform for efficient
radio access to future networks
• Under this are two S & T objectives
– Cognitive Wireless Access Provision [measurable criteria]
• Platform aspects
• Intelligence aspects
– Network Support Provision [measurable criteria]
• And two non-S & T objectives
– Use-case development [guidelines on marketing]
– Preparation of regulatory policies [response of regulators]

Concept
A significant novelty is a two-step
spectrum management process
An upper cognitive
manager that
manages the spectrum
portfolio
A lower cognitive
manager that
allocates resource

Milestones are EAB meetings
• MS1 – month 2 (should have been Feb 2010)
– Workshop, ‘Setting the scene’
– Introduction to the project, planning, use-case review
• MS2 – month 11 (November 2010)
– Workshop, ‘Spectrum portfolio and scenarios’
– review and ratify initial scenarios, architectures, models
and frameworks
• MS3 – month 19 (July 2011) – with Industry
– Workshop, ‘Regulation impact and impact on regulation’
– Disseminate, review and ratify Consolidated Scenarios,
Architecture description of cognitive and spectrum
manager functions and test-bed design

Milestones are EAB meetings
• MS4 – month 30 (June 2012)
– Workshop, ‘Opportunities and chances, new models for new
actors’
– Review results of Simulations and Models, demonstrations
of cognitive functions and transceiver platform
• MS5 – month 36 (December 2012) – with Industry
– Workshop, ‘Way forward – the QoSMOS legacy’
– Final demonstration, downstream final designs
The output from each of the 5 milestones will be a restricted
report
