Here's an interesting web site I ran across in the current issue of the IEEE Capital Area Scanner: www.sharedspectrum.com/?section=3Dpresentations (Remember to remove the "3D" after the equals sign.) The top presentation is the one of interest. It describes how frequency-agile radio systems can find free spectrum to use for temporary interactive sessions. It discusses the advantages and classic problems with these schemes, including the "hidden node" problem, and it states that such frequency agile systems must, in practice, in addition to monitoring the desired spectrum before using it, also include a priori knowledge of emitters in that location. But the most relevant part of the presentation for our purposes here is that it places this technique IN CONTEXT. As in, this is what it's targeted at.
