•8.8.2 Interface to Networking Functions
The networking functions may use a similar client server model to request relative position of other cognitive radio and non-CR devices. The resulting information may be used to direct steerable antenna beams and nulls or to select next-hop destinations in energy-efficient routing algorithms.
Networking functions may also request absolute position and use this in a search for local services, such as access points. The database of services is contained in the networking engine in this case.
If the database of services is contained in the geolocation engine, the networking function could request location of the closest service provider, and the engine would return that. The partitioning of these functions to the two engines has not yet been discussed in the literature.
