The SDR Forum held a working meeting on January 26 to 29 at the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2). This meeting represented the 61st General Meeting of the Forum and comprised working sessions advancing the SDR Forum’s 2009 operations plan in support of the commercial, public safety, avionics, and international tactical radio communities. Groups that met in San Diego included the following: 

• Public Safety Special Interest Group
• International Tactical Radio Special Interest Group  
• Secondary Spectrum Access Testing Task Group
• Regulatory Committee
• Cognitive Radio Work Group
• Commercial Baseband Processing Technologies Work Group
• Meta-language for Mobility Work Group
• RF Technologies Task Group  
• SCA Work Group
• Security Work Group
• Smart Antenna Work Group
• Test and Measurement Task Group
• Transceiver System Interface Task Group

In addition, the SDR Forum hosted meetings of two IEEE SCC41 project groups in San Diego:

• P1900.5 – The purpose of this group to define a policy language (or a set of policy languages or dialects) to specify interoperable, vendor-independent control of Cognitive Radio functionality and behavior for Dynamic Spectrum Access resources and services.
• P1900.6 – The purpose of this group is to define a standard for the information exchange between spectrum sensors and their clients in radiocommunication systems. The logical interface and supporting data structures used for information exchange are defined abstractly without constraining the sensing technology, client design, or data link between sensor and client.

This meeting was sponsored by and co-located with the JTRS Science and Technology Forum (JSTeF). Highlights of JSTeF meeting included:
