Under the direction of WG SE:

• define technical and operational requirements for the operation of cognitive radio systems in the white spaces of the UHF broadcasting band (470-790 MHz) to ensure the protection of incumbent radio services/systems and investigate the consequential amount of spectrum potentially available as “white space”;

• provide, if required, technical assistance on further issues related to white spaces and cognitive radio systems that ECC may identify in the future;

• liaise directly with relevant groups within ECC and ETSI as necessary.
