Role and Structure of ETSI RRS
 TC RRS’ main responsibility is to carry out standardization activities
related to Reconfigurable Radio Systems encompassing both Software
Defined Radio (SDR) and Cognitive Radio (CR).
 TC RRS is building on the following Working Group structure:
• WG1 focuses on “System Aspects” and develops proposals from a
system aspects point of view for a common framework in TC RRS;
• WG2 focuses on SDR technology with a particular interest in “Radio
Equipment Architecture” and proposes common reference architectures
for SDR/CR radio equipments;
• WG3 focuses on "Cognitive Management and Control"; the group
addresses functionalities for Reconfigurable Radio Systems which are
related to the Spectrum Management and Joint Radio Resource
Management across heterogeneous access technologies;
• WG4 focuses on “Public
ETSI TC RRS
Safety” and collects and
defines the related RRS

RRS Cognitive Radio Approach
 Centralized and Decentralized CR System (CRS) Concepts
• Objective: Provision of more efficient and flexible use of spectrum by
 Obtaining knowledge of the radio operational environment and location,
 Deciding on the gathered information and acting based on this decision,
 Learning from the results obtained.
• Four CRS deployment
examples are proposed:
 dedicated spectrum,
 shared spectrum,
 secondary
usage
in
dedicated spectrum, and
 spectrum dedicated for
CRS.
• The overall ETSI RRS
cognitive radio system
concept is shown on the
right hand side.

Cognitive Pilot Channel (CPC) &
Functional Architecture (FA) in RRS
 CPC Scope: The Cognitive Pilot Channel
(CPC) serves mainly to support the user
terminal for an efficient discovery of the
available radio accesses in a heterogeneous
wireless environment.
 FA Scope: Network with heterogeneous
access technologies Reconfigurable UEs /
Mobile Devices and Reconfigurable Base
Stations;
 Functional Architecture addresses generic
framework on possible SON (3GPP TS
36.300) evolution concepts, etc.
 New activities started on TV White Spaces.

Software Defined Radio Activities
 SDR in Mobile Devices: RRS has proposed the
SDR architecture illustrated on the right hand
side with the following capabilities:
• Multiradio configuration capability;
• Multiradio operation capability;
• Multiradio resource sharing capability.
 Interface definitions are currently ongoing.
 SDR in Reconfigurable Base Stations: The
following general requirements are derived:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Transition from one standard to a new;
Multi-standard use, frequency re-farming;
Spectrum trading & secondary spectrum usage;
Dynamic capacity optimization depending on load;
Network planning and adaptation, antenna tuning;
Backhaul reconfiguration for flat architecture.

Related Activities in TC ERM / STF
386
 Development
of
cognitive
interference
mitigation
techniques for use by PMSE devices (Programme Making
and Special Events)
 Achieve co-existence of high audio quality PMSE devices
using often a 100% transmitter duty cycle emission profile
with victim radio services such as Services in L-Band or
Broadcast Services and future Land Mobile Services and
applications in UHF frequency range that is currently under
investigation under the “Digital Dividend” discussions in
Bodypack for ENG
EC, ECC and ETSI fora
 See also separate presentation on
cognitive-PMSE (C-PMSE).

Conclusions
 Cognitive Radio / Software Defined Radio Activities are
well advanced within ETSI;
 SDR mainly focuses on Mobile Device Architecture &
Interface definitions between distinct stakeholder domains
(Device / Component Manufacturer, etc.);
 CR mainly focuses on devices operating in a
heterogeneous
context,
flexible
&
dynamic
spectrum/resource management and TV White Space
operation as a future topic;
 There are close ties between TC RRS and TC ERM &
STF386 on cognitive interference mitigation techniques for
use by PMSE devices .
