802.22 Standard -- Working Group on Wireless Regional Area Networks ("WRANs")

The goal of the IEEE 802.22 Working Group is to develop a standard for a cognitive radio-based interface for use by license-exempt devices which must operate on a non-interfering basis with other devices in the frequency spectrum that is allocated to the TV Broadcast Service. The standards developed so far are available for download here. It is interesting to note that the FCC and the IEEE plan to managing the white space channels through a centralized clearinghouse approach. You can read more here about the structure.
