Re: [802.19] TVWS Control Channel Straw Poll
Gerald and Richard,
We can use a different term. I was using the term Control Channel since that is what is used in the Cognitive Radio literature.
The point is that it is a method of exchanging information between TVWS devices.

Rich,
I agree. I am also not too comfortable with the term "control
channel". It should really be a means of exchanging information between
TVBD devices, either through the backhaul or over the RF medium to help
coexistence but not a channel where an entity of some sort would control
the use of the RF medium by the TVBDs. We need a bit more discussion on
this before a meaningful straw poll.
