Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The forum is intended to comprise an international group of equipment vendors, subsystem vendors, software developers, technology developers, communication service providers, research and engineering organizations, academic institutions, government users, regulators and other interested parties who share the common business interests of advocating for the innovative utilization of spectrum and the development of wireless communications systems, including essential or critical communications systems.

Major Activities

Activity 2
Technical conference: the forum held its annual us technical conference and product exposition november 30th to december 3rd, 2010 at the hyatt regency in crystal city, virginia. This event acts as the primary vehicle for the organization to fulfill its education mandate, and featured more than 100 papers focusing on software defined and cognitive radio technologies, standards, regulatory issues and business activities - presented by an international array of researchers and organizations in the commercial, civil and defense communications markets to attendees from over 22 countries. The event provides an international perspective on the current state of the art for advanced wireless communications and included keynotes, workshops, panels, tutorials and product demonstrations from over 35 exhibitors. In support of this event, in 2010 the forum arranged a travel grant with the us national science foundation to provide support to students at us universities active in software defined radio and cognitive radio in attending the conference. The goal of this grant was to provide students with exposure to industry and the real problems they will face when entering the workforce in the design, development, manufacture and deployment of advanced wireless systems. Such exposure will help them to better understand how their course work at university applies in a real world setting, and will accelerate the pace at which they become productive upon graduation. At the conference they will meet and interact the leading researchers and practitioners in this field. 33 travel grant awards were made by the conference's program committee, with grants of up to 375 made to students living within 300 miles of the event, and grants of up to 650 made for students living more than 300 miles away. Grants were made against actual expenses, and receipts were required before payment was made. The forum also provided lodging at the conference hotel for a fixed number of nights as a matching contribution. The forum is scheduled to hold its next annual us technical conference and product exposition november 29th to december 2, 2011 at the hyatt regency in crystal city, virginia. In fy2011, the forum formed a technical program committee, issued the call for papers, tutorials, demonstrations and workshops for this event, and began soliciting for sponsors and exhibitors. In addition, in 2011 hosted its first european conference on communications technologies and software defined radio. This conference was held june 22 to 24, 2011 in brussels, belgium and featured over 60 papers and presentations focusing on research and development related to software defined radio, cognitive radio and dynamic spectrum access in european programs. The conference attracted over 120 delegates from 25 countries representing organizations at all level of the wireless value chain. The conference also included a small exhibition with 10 exhibitors. The forum is scheduled to hold its second european conference on communications technologies and software defined radio in june of 2012. In fy2011, the forum began forming the program committee for this event to define the technical program.
Activity 3
Smart radio challenge: sdr forum's smart radio challenge is a worldwide competition in which student engineering teams design, develop and test software defined radio (sdr) or cognitive radio technologies that address relevant problems in the advanced wireless market. The goal of this challenge is to foster interaction between industry and academia and to expose students to the type of real-world problems they will face upon graduation. Solutions presented by student teams are evaluated by a panel of industry judges, and one time scholarships are awarded to teams based on the results. The smart radio challenge was discontinued in fy2011 due to loss of sponsorship. The forum began looking at restructuring the challenge to be restarted in fy2012 or fy2013.

THROUGH THESE SERVICES, THE MEMBERS OF THE FORUM BALLOTED AND APPROVED THE FOLLOWING WORK PRODUCTS IN FY2011, WHICH HAVE BEEN MADE PUBLICALLY AVAILABLE THROUGH THE FORUM'S DOCUMENT LIBRARY (HTTP://WWW.WIRELESSINNOVATION.ORG/PAGE/DOCUMENT_LIBRARY): - SECURING SOFTWARE RECONFIGURABLE COMMUNICATIONS DEVICES (DOCUMENT WINNF-08-P-0013-V1.0.0) - THIS REPORT WAS DEVELOPED BY THE SECURITY WORK GROUP TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE, KEY CONSIDERATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SDR DEVELOPERS AND MANUFACTURERS REGARDING THE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING PROCESSES ESSENTIAL TO PRODUCING APPROPRIATE SECURITY SOLUTIONS FOR SOFTWARE RECONFIGURABLE RADIO PLATFORMS. IT SPANS A COMPREHENSIVE RANGE OF SECURITY TOPICS SUCH AS CONSIDERATIONS FOR STAKEHOLDERS AND OTHER ROLES AND THEIR SECURITY NEEDS AS WELL AS POTENTIAL VULNERABILITIES, THREATS, ATTACKS/EXPLOITS, AND ASSOCIATED RISK ANALYSES. - QUANTIFYING THE BENEFITS OF COGNITIVE RADIO (DOCUMENT WINNF-09-P-0012-V1.0.0) - THIS REPORT WAS DEVELOPED BY THE COGNITIVE RADIO WORK GROUP FOR THE WORLD-WIDE TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND SPECTRUM COMMUNITY WHO NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE BENEFITS OF USING COGNITIVE RADIO TECHNOLOGIES IN NEXT GENERATION WIRELESS SYSTEMS. THE REPORT ACTS AS A CONTRIBUTION TO THE ITU-R AND LAYS THE GROUNDWORK FOR REGULATORY ORGANIZATIONS TO UNDERSTAND THE BENEFITS AND SYSTEM DESIGN CHOICES ASSOCIATED WITH COGNITIVE RADIO TECHNOLOGIES. - IPA - INFORMATION PROCESS ARCHITECTURE VOLUME I (DOCUMENT WINNF-09-P-0020-V1.0.0) - THIS REPORT WAS PRODUCED BY THE COGNITIVE RADIO WORK GROUP FOR STAKEHOLDERS IN COMPLEX INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND THEIR ASSOCIATED COMMUNICATIONS SUBSYSTEMS WHO NEED TO REPRESENT THE CURRENT STATE OF THEIR SYSTEMS, CONSIDER HOW TO EXPAND AND ENHANCE THEM FROM A PROCESS PERSPECTIVE, AND ANALYZE OPPORTUNITIES TO INTERACT WITH OTHER SYSTEMS WITH SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS, BUT DEVELOPED INDEPENDENTLY. THE INFORMATION PROCESS ARCHITECTURE PROVIDES A GENERAL TOP-DOWN MODEL AND A SERIES OF TOOLS FOR DEPICTING OPERATIONAL, SYSTEMS, AND TECHNICAL STANDARDS VIEWS OF THE STRUCTURE OF COMPLEX SYSTEMS. THE REPORT WILL AID IN DEFINING, DESIGNING AND SELECTING COGNITIVE RADIO PROCESSES RELEVANT AND USEFUL TO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM STAKEHOLDERS AND, VIA A TOP-DOWN APPROACH, FACILITATE AN IMPROVED UNDERSTANDING OF THE STRUCTURE AND RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN INFORMATION SYSTEMS THAT SPAN USER DOMAINS, AND ALLOW USERS TO ASSESS THE ROLE OF THEIR SYSTEMS WITH THESE ARCHITECTURAL PRODUCTS. - "DESCRIPTION OF THE COGNITIVE RADIO ONTOLOGY" (DOCUMENT WINNF-10-S-0007 -V1.0.0) - THIS SPECIFICATION WAS DEVELOPED BY THE MODELING LANGUAGE FOR MOBILITY WORK GROUP FOR DEVELOPERS OF NEXT GENERATION COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS WHO WANT TO CREATE FLEXIBLE AND EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION PROTOCOLS BETWEEN ADVANCED RADIO SYSTEMS TO SUPPORT NEXT GENERATION FEATURES OF VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL MOBILITY, SPECTRU
