Next Questions (2) •How should traditional regulatory approaches change to betterleverage and incorporate direct federal agency-to-industrycollaboration, negotiation, and coordination to enable greaterspectrum sharing? •What are the strengths and weaknesses of measurement-basedand sensing-based spectrum sharing methods, and how can theweaknesses be overcome? How can this spectrum sensing andspectrum measurement data be analyzed to identify and addressenvironmental trends pointing towards potential interferencesituations before harmful interference occurs? Specific bands ofinterest are U-NII-2B (5350-5470 MHz) and U-NII-4 (5850-5925 MHz). Next Questions (3) •Can evolving database and sensing approaches adopted in theU.S. to facilitate a more dynamic spectrum sharing environmentbe effectively extended to international spectrum managementapplications? If so, how? •As we consider opening new frequency bands in the millimeterwave region of the spectrum to support 5G, what are thetechnology and standardization issues associated withfederal/non-federal spectrum sharing, and what specificroles/actions should NTIA take to address these challenges? Summary •Draft questions identified to guide futureCSMAC efforts •Questions will be finalized by September 11 •Target completion prior to membershiptransition
