The present document describes radio aspects related to the central coordination point (CCP) concept. The intended application domain is wireless industrial applications (WIA) within the 5,8 GHz WIA band.

The concept of a central coordination point (CCP) is a mechanism which allows the coordination of multiple devices and/or multiple networks using single or multiple spectrum access technologies with the intension of optimizing spectrum efficiency and ensuring coexistence. The objective of the CCP as described in the present document, is to establish an automated adaptive coexistence management for the 5,8 GHz WIA band, which means that the CCP identifies and manages the available spectrum for WIA under its control. The CCP employs mitigation techniques like Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) and Detect and Avoid (DAA) in order to protect incumbent services or applications.

NOTE: The term device is used in the present document as a synonym for equipment.

The technical specifications of higher layer protocol mechanisms that are needed to allow a multi-vendor-capable-CCP are not part of the present document.
