SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Overview. This notice is issued on behalf of the NITRD Wireless Spectrum Research and Development (WSRD) Interagency Working Group (IWG). Agencies of the WSRD IWG are conducting a workshop focused on the topic of making data available for national spectrum management.

Workshop sessions with invited speakers & panelists will discuss:

Data requirements for spectrum

Constraints and policy issues

Spectrum data collection

Spectrum data storage and dissemination

Workshop Objectives. Identify challenges associated with obtaining, disseminating, and using data about spectrum to support policy making, operations, and R&D with applications to spectrum sharing & optimization through improved analysis, modeling & prediction. Discuss ideas for resolution of these challenges through the action of researchers, industry, agencies, regulators, and/or legislators with potential inputs to R&D agency prioritization and the National Spectrum Strategy.
