Objective: The objective of this program is to help eliminate key barriers to implementing new spectrum sharing policies though the development of regulatory and enforcement mechanisms that protect incumbents users. The proposed research develops needed enforcement mechanism though developing algorithms for rapid identification and location of users, developing metrics appropriate for enforcement systems, and determining fundamental limits for density of nodes to achieve reliable detection for enforcement. The technology development will be guided by considering legal issues surrounding privacy and whether the technology requires changes to existing telecommunication policy.Intellectual merit: The intellectual merit is the discovery of novel approaches to transmitter identity and location verification, and the development of metrics that regulators can use to help determine compliance of future spectrum sharing systems.Broader impacts: The broader impacts are elimination of roadblocks to spectrum sharing mechanisms. The President?s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology identified nearly 1GHz of spectrum that can be shared to spur the economy and establish the United States as the leading technology innovator for dynamic spectrum access. Understanding the technical viability, legal feasibility, and system costs of spectrum sharing enforcement will eliminate fear, uncertainty, and doubt on the part of spectrum owners about moving into a spectrum sharing mode. Our approach also proactively reaches out to the regulatory community and educates them on the new regulatory approaches and enforcement mechanisms made possible by this research.

目标：本计划的目标是通过制定保护现有用户的监管和执行机制，帮助消除实施新频谱共享政策的主要障碍。拟议的研究通过开发快速识别和定位用户的算法，开发适用于执行系统的指标，以及确定节点密度的基本限制来开发所需的执行机制，以实现可靠的执行检测。这项技术的发展将考虑与隐私有关的法律问题，以及这项技术是否需要改变现有的电信政策。智力优势：智力优势是发现了发射机身份和位置验证的新方法，并开发了监管机构可以用来帮助确定未来频谱共享系统合规性的指标。更广泛的影响：更广泛的影响是消除频谱共享机制的障碍。总统吗?美国科学技术顾问委员会（Council of Advisors on Science and Technology）确定了可以共享的近1GHz频谱，以刺激经济，并使美国成为动态频谱接入领域领先的技术创新者。了解频谱共享实施的技术可行性、法律可行性和系统成本，将消除频谱所有者对进入频谱共享模式的恐惧、不确定性和疑虑。我们的方法还积极主动地接触监管界，并向他们介绍通过本研究可能实现的新的监管方法和执行机制。
