The realization of future wireless applications that require high data rate and service quality greatly depends on the alleviation of the interference problem. To this end, collaborative resource allocation between different wireless technologies has become an important technique. We have been designing a software architecture that we call “connectivity brokerage”, that will enable this collaboration. In this paper we explain the connectivity brokerage software architecture, and two parts of it; namely WAPI and distributed repository (CBDR) software libraries.European Commission ; Multiscale Systems Center ; Gigascale Systems Research Cente
