Abstract :
Cognitive Radio Communications and the switch off of analog TV in Europe is creating a strong and viable solution for testing new approaches to the implementation of Cognitive Radios in an effective way. In this paper the concept of White Spaces and specially the approaches that are thought to be developed in Europe will be studied and analyzed. It is expected that this work will be the basis for more focus on the white space communication protocols.
