Abstract
The explosive growth in the density of wirelessly connected devices and their traffic load is raising the interference level and gradually leading to a severe spectrum shortage. Traditional approaches to address this challenge (such as spectrum regulation, improvements in spectral efficiency, and reducing cell sizes) are running out of steam or are facing operational roadblocks. Fortunately, a number of approaches have been emerging from the research community that may help to address the looming spectrum crisis. All of these approaches have a common set of properties: they require coordination and cooperation between heterogeneous networking technologies. This can be addressed by the introduction of a general framework that enables diverse wireless technologies to exchange information and to collaborate in a seamless fashion, making a joint optimization of the scarce spectrum resources possible. In this paper, the basic concepts underlying such a framework are described. We provide a bird’s-eye view on the trends, opportunities and challenges in current and future wireless networking. The proposed architecture is outlined and its potential is illustrated with practical use cases.
