Approaches to address this challenge include dynamic spectrum allocation (cognitive radio) and pro-active interference mitigation strategies requiring coordination between heterogeneous networking technologies. This paper describes a modular and scalable methodology and architecture, called Connectivity Brokerage, that enables proactive co-existence and collaboration between diverse technologies, making joint optimization of the scarce spectrum resources possible.engrestrictedAccessconferenceObject48849110.1109/RWS.2010.5434096Radio spectrum managementCooperative systemsDistributed controlCognitive radioInterference mitigation2-s2.0-77952400303
