Abstract: In Cognitive Radio (CR) networks, licensed radio channels are allowed to be used by Secondary Users (SUs) as long as SUs do not harmfully impair the transmission of Primary Users (PUs). Therefore, a crucial task for SUs is to decide which available channel should be selected, the so-called spectrum decision. To provide intelligent spectrum decision strategy to SUs, we suggest a system called Spectrum Decision Support System (SDSS). SDSS takes into account both heterogeneity aspects and interoperability requirements of CR networks. By this, SDSS is capable of jointly considering various channel characterizations and different decision making algorithms for doing spectrum decision. The paper is reporting the SDSS architecture as well as the related work-in-progress.
