Normative Functional Requirements Data Quality and Definition Data acquired must be accompanied by adequate metadata information to allow for duplication of the measurement or assessment of data quality by a subject matter expert. Hardware specification and measurement parameters are to be included in the messaging metadata requirements. Information less amenable to metadata capture should be made available via appropriate and accessible documentation, e.g., algorithm described via written article with source code in Github repository. Regulatory requirements This standard should provide mechanisms to meet the regulatory requirements of national operators that have defined parameters or requirements for spectrum sensing in various applications. These regulatory requirements would take two forms: the first is technical requirements for sensitivity, resolution, etc. The second is limitations on how and where sensing might be done where there are sensitivities around privacy, military use and other national policies and regulations. Policy Management and Enforcement Requirements To allow for granularity in what the SCOS systems can do, but also ensure spectrum occupancy or utilization data is not exposed in contravention of national policy or regulation, it is proposed that the TM would be able to apply policies to allow or disallow certain functionality in the SDs, or disallow transmission of the data to third party systems. These policies would be determined by the TM operator in accordance with their requirements and that of local authorities (e.g. a national regulator or network operator), and cascaded down to any connected SDs. These policies would allow sensing only according to allowed metrics (e.g. no hi-resolution raw scans in military radar bands), and limit sensing data transmission to certain classes of third party systems.
