      The chapters of this book are organized to help the reader make design decisions that can optimize the performance of DSA services and avoid the pitfalls mentioned above. For example, if you are designing a distributed cooperative DSA system, there could be room for local decisions and optimum local fusion and optimization of DSA control traffic volume. If you are designing a centralized DSA system, optimum hierarchical decision making can lead to more efficient spectrum management of heterogeneous networks than relying mainly on centralized decisions.

      DSA solutions can differ drastically from one system to another. However, there are common foundations that can be used in any DSA design approach. The goal is always the same: optimize the use of a given pool of spectrum resources dynamically and react to changes in environments. With this book laying some theoretical foundations of DSA design, addressing the most generic model of DSA, and then showing with case studies how this generic model can be applied to different cases, the reader should be able to obtain knowledge on how to approach DSA and how to create design concepts for any system under consideration. The separation of the physical layer aspects of DSA from the cognitive engine aspects in this book should help the reader address the design aspects of the physical layer separate from the design aspects of cognitive engines such that DSA can be applied to noncognitive systems and cognitive systems and the design can address any system requirements and boundaries.

      1 Consider a hybrid DSA system you are designing with 10 mins minimum elapsed time before changing frequency assignment for a large‐scale set of heterogeneous networks. One of these heterogeneous networks has distributed agents in its nodes that make DSA decisions for the network and these decisions can take up to 200 ms due to spectrum sensing information propagation time and processing time. If you are asked to come up with a minimum time interval for a local agent to make a local DSA decision (time elapse after making a local DSA decision before you can consider making another one), which of the following time intervals would you choose?200 ms100 ms20 msExplain the reason for your choice.

      2 In a hybrid DSA system, would you want a local DSA decision (e.g., power increase) to be propagated to peer agents that make distributed decisions? Explain your reason.

      3 You are given a set of heterogeneous wireless networks with one network that operates at a narrowband of 100 kbps. Your analysis of DSA shows that DSA control traffic (e.g., spectrum sensing information and other DSA configuration parameters) would use about 30 kbps over this narrowband network. Would you proceed with your DSA design or consider assigning the narrowband network a fixed frequency band to operate at? Explain the reason for your choice.

      Notes

      1 1 Part 4 of this book contains the DySPAN standards. DySPAN is selected over SAS in this book because it contains API design approaches that complement the goals of this book.

      2 2 There are different types of DSA services that can be offered in a set of DSA cloud services. Part 2 of this book shows that co‐site interference avoidance can be a collection of DSA services that incrementally increases the efficiency of frequencies assignments. The consideration of blanking signal, which ensures the accuracy of sensing information, can be another type of DSA service.

      3 3 DSA decisions are often needed when the radio frequency signal is compromised. The DSA control plane conditions may or may not be compromised at that time. When the DSA control plane is compromised, DSA services should be available. The response time between requesting a DSA service and granting the service should not be dependent on the DSA control plane conditions.

      4 4 Some military networks can have an antijamming mode. A DSA decision can be switching from a high bandwidth normal mode to a lower bandwidth antijamming mode instead of changing the operating frequencies.

      5 5 Order of time here means response time and the gap of time between two consecutive DSA service requests.

      6 6 Abstracting spectrum sensing information is covered in detail in Chapter 4.
