Abstract

The present invention provides a method for using an Organization and Control Proxy (OCP) to configure a network communications infrastructure. OCP functionality is distributed across nodes possessing OCP elements. Intercommunication between the OCP elements is implemented via a unifying mesh waveform for network discovery, propagation of network and radio-frequency (RF) socket usage information, and management and control of instances of dynamic socket waveforms. An extensible language for specification of waveform properties is used by the OCP elements to negotiate spectral use information and to negotiate configurations between two or more endpoints of a dynamic socket waveform connection. A network stack is configured by the OCP to provide requested service to an end user.
