Developing business model for Geo-location Database for the operation of cognitive radio in the TV White Space bands

Wireless communications nowadays play a significant role in offering wide range of opportunities, which form a dynamic, 'on-the-go' environment for personal and business communications, enhancing people's and systems' productivity and much more. On the other hand, due to the fact that radio spectrum is practically limited resource, emergence of new wireless systems enlarges the risk of different devices interfering with one another, or services being delivering with lower than expected quality (QoS). Spectrum scarcity can result in degrading performance, information loss or other unwanted issues. On the other hand, there is a lot of potentially available radio spectrum (TV White Space) due to the switchover from analogue to digital broadcasting and dissimilarities in the use of TV channels in different geographic areas - the spectrum, which can be used by the existing and new wireless communication systems. However, to balance the growing demand for the spectrum with its (more) efficient use, novel and more efficient spectrum management techniques are needed. which could fulfil the need for more efficient spectrum use. For CR to be implemented, a controlling entity is needed to monitor spectrum for interference and to identify available channels and frequencies. To be successful, CR needs to be more than just technically feasible - any CR solution will demand new standards for band identification, management, control and also cost allocation to support the successful development of CR. In this paper we aim to develop a business model for Geo-location Database (GDB) as a controlling entity of CR in the context of TVWS bands. The novelty of this work is in seeking to find an effective Business Model which can accommodate technological, economic, political and social perspectives, so that the proposed Business Models could help better understand how CR system can be made acceptable not only for the regulatory authorities, but also for the industry and the consumers.
