What is OpenZMS?

OpenZMS is a prototype automatic spectrum sharing and management system for radio dynamic zones. OpenZMS provides mechanisms to share electromagnetic (radio-frequency) spectrum between experimental or test systems and existing spectrum users, and between multiple experimental systems. We are building and deploying OpenZMS within the context of the POWDER mobile wireless testbed in Salt Lake City, Utah, part of the NSF-sponsored Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research program, to create the POWDER Radio Dynamic Zone (POWDER-RDZ), supported by the NSF Spectrum Innovation Initiative: National Radio Dynamic Zones (SII-NRDZ) program.
