Abstract

Cloud computing has a potential to solve scalability issue in dynamic spectrum request response (DSR2) wireless networking. Radio frequency (RF) spectrum is a pervasive resource whose optimal utilisation requires efficient management techniques to allow a sustainable growth of innovative wireless communication technologies. Multi-tenancy cloud hosting architectures are considered to be prime enabler to a concept of spectrum resource-as-a-service (SRaaS) for DSR2 networks. Such architectures allows a single instance of software application to be delivered as a service to multiple users (tenants) requesting different services from different or same locations as opposed to running multiple instances of same software applications to each tenant. This chapter discusses a proposed conceptual framework for managing RF spectrum resources in dynamic spectrum request response wireless networks.
