Abstract: This paper proposes to use an actor-centric approach to deal with the alignment between technology and the radio spectrum regulatory environment to facilitate the successful introduction of Cognitive Radio. The value of this approach is demonstrated through a review of historical cases of changes in radio spectrum regulations and the introduction of new (radio) technology. It proposes to apply this approach to explore Use Cases within a Community of Practice as the way forward for realising the necessary coordination between the actors involved to facilitate the successful deployment of cognitive radio and to realise – at the same time – the goal of improved utilisation of the radio frequency spectrum.
