The goal of IEEE DySPAN 1900.5 working group is to support the regulatory community and the wireless industry who rely on solutions for spectrum sharing. This group has created requirements and a flexible architecture for the proliferation of dynamic spectrum access policies. Current work is focused on defining a policy language and ontology as well as modeling spectrum consumption in an effort to create a suite of standards that support the formal representation of spectrum policy and usage in radio networks. Collaboration in standardizing solutions will improve the success and efficiency for all stakeholders in this ever changing environment. This paper will provide an overview of the current activities of the 1900.5 working group including its two current standards projects, P1900.5.1 and P1900.5.2 and interactions with regulatory bodies.
