  • Abstract
    We argue for a policy-based approach to increase spectrum availability. To this extend, we briefly summarize a new language for expressing policies that allow opportunistic spectrum access. A Policy Reasoner that reasons about these policies can be used with cognitive radios to guarantee policy- specified behaviors while allowing spectrum sharing. We present our policy reasoner design and we evaluated the reasoner in a demonstration. We describe the policies used in that demonstration and the results of the evaluation.
