On September 23rd, the US regulator FCC opened up for cognitive radio operation in unused spectrum in the TV bands, the so called TV white spaces, by allowing wireless users to access a geo-location database to download information about what spectrum is available. The same approach seems to be taken by OFCOM in the UK. Big actors from the IT-industry such as Google, Microsoft and Dell are also researching and pushing this technology We want to implement, test and evaluate such a database in real life. We are looking for master students that want to study wireless communication and implement a geo-location database system for TV white space access.
