Wireless Service Information Format (WSIF)

This book describes a commercial implementation strategy for white space administration, which consists of computer software object models and their corresponding XML encoding that collectively describe the core Wireless Service Information Format (WSIF). The WSIF is intended as an information formatting scheme to support other related computer software frameworks and implementations for the presentation, validation, persistence and communication of wireless service descriptions. Also provided are two useful implementations for FCC Rules-compliant operation within the United States: one for communicating with unlicensed white space devices and one for inter-white space administrator information distribution exchange.
