We would need to understand what in our charter doesn't work for LSA. ISTM that as long as there is a database, the database tracks the incumbent's use, and provides a response to a location based query for available spectrum, that it fits, regardless of whether the secondary user is licensed or unlicensed.
I think we do get out of scope if, for example, the spectrum available to one querier is different from another, and we're definitely not dealing with shared use of spectrum (sharing among secondary users). Sharing under WS is binary – either an incumbent user is using it, or secondary users can use it.

I believe PAWS framework (i.e. direct link between a DB and a master device) is tightly coupled with the unlicensed nature of WS concept where LSA is about "exclusive spectrum rights of use where and when the spectrum is not used by the incumbent(s)". Regards, Pierre-Jean Muller RED Technologies Le 07/02/2013 19:35, Rosen, Brian a écrit : Our goal in the IETF is to be as widely applicable as we can within our charter, balanced against getting something done sooner rather than later. That's probably not as helpful as you would like. I think LSA is in scope = we're definitely not limited to TV bands, and we're not limited to unlicensed spectrum. brian From: Hassnaa Moustafa <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Thursday, February 7, 2013 1:32 PM To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [paws] Spectrum Sharing Hi Brian, Gabor and all, I read the last use-cases draft (draft-ietf-paws-problem-stmt-usecases-rqmts-12.txt) and the recent version of the protocol draft, and I notice that the use-cases focus on White Spaces utilization. I have a couple of questions: - Does the WS database aims to consider the TVWS only or any other frequencies (WiFi, cellular, ... for instance)? - In the charter of the WG, the scope is on WS utilization, would the PAWS protocol under progress be applicable to (LSA: Licensed Share Access) also or would be limited to the WS? Thanks in advance. Regards, Hasnaa _______________________________________________ paws mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/paws
