CBRS CPI Examination- Terms and Definitions- Questions and Answers

CBSD Registration The procedure by which a CBSD indicates to a SAS its intention to operate. Successful registration implies a validation by the SAS that the CBSD has been FCC certified and confers on the CBSD the right to be authorized by the SAS to operate in accordance with a Grant. During the registration process, each CBSD provides a fixed location, unique identifiers (e.g., owner information, device information), Group membership, and radio-related capabilities. A successful registration procedure concludes with the SAS providing a unique identifier for that CBSD. CBSD User The registered entity that has operational responsibility for the CBSD. Channel The contiguous frequency range between lower and upper frequency limits. Citizens Broadband Radio Service Device (CBSD) Fixed Stations, or networks of such stations, that operate on a Priority Access or General Authorized Access basis in the Citizens Broadband Radio Service consistent with Title 47 CFR Part 96 [n.8]. For CBSDs which comprise multiple nodes or networks of nodes, CBSD requirements apply to each node even if network management and communication with the SAS is accomplished via a single network interface. Domain Proxy (DP): An entity engaging in communications with the SAS on behalf of multiple individual CBSDs or networks of CBSDs. The Domain Proxy can also provide a translational capability to interface legacy radio equipment in the MHz band with a SAS to ensure compliance with Part 96 rules [n.8].
