Abstract :
In this paper we explore a means of allowing independent service providers using whatever spectrum they can find, to come together in a loose form of coalition which supports mobility between service providers. The service providers are not required to use similar network configurations- i.e. they can configure to best suit their needs and in line with what spectrum they find available. Our solution involves the use of what we term a cyclostationary codec which in essence is a physical pattern that can be placed in the control channel of the service provider. This pattern is the key enabling mechanism for identifying the coalition, enabling rendezvous, supporting handover and conveying details of the service provider configuration.
