Abstract
One of today’s most important developing wireless technologies is Cognitive Radio (CR). In our current fixed-assignment spectrum management policy, much of the available frequencies go unused. CR aims to make use of this unutilized space to provide wireless broadband services. This paper aims to give a background to CR and describe the key players in standardization and allocation of the unused spectrum. Furthermore, it discusses the policies and policy makers that are guiding the future of CR.
