ITU-R SM.1132 - General principles and methods for sharing between radiocommunication services or between radio stations	This Recommendation provides general principles and methods for sharing between radiocommunication services or between radio stations
ITU-R SM.1370 – Design guidelines for developing automated spectrum management systems	This Recommendation gives design guidelines for an automated spectrum management system, including the recommended functionality for such a system, and the data elements required for frequency manage­ment at national level while also ensuring that the data collected is suitable (statistically significant) for accurate characterization.
ITU-R SM.1392 – Essential Requirements for a spectrum monitoring system for developing countries	This Recommendation describes requirements for spectrum monitoring systems, including systems tasks, equipment and evaluation criteria for determining the scope of what is needed based on administration requirements.
ITU-R SM.1537 - Automation and integration of spectrum monitoring systems with automated spectrum management.	Current technology allows most spectrum monitoring functions, and indeed entire monitoring stations, to be highly automated, and allows spectrum monitoring systems to be highly integrated with automated spectrum management. Many activities of an automated national spectrum management system will benefit from integration with automated spectrum monitoring stations. This Recommendation describes recommended functionality of these systems
ITU-R SM.1603 - Spectrum redeployment as a method of national spectrum management	This Recommendation gives guidelines for spectrum redeployment issues

ITU-R SM.1880 – Spectrum Occupancy measurement and evaluation	This Recommendation describes frequency channel occupancy measurements performed with a receiver or spectrum analyser and includes discussions about equipment, monitoring site considerations, fixed and mobile monitoring, statistical considerations for result validity and post processing.
ITU-R SM.2039 – Spectrum Monitoring Evolution Note: This Recommendation may become relevant at a later stage after setting up an initial spectrum monitoring system	This Recommendation describes the need for improved coverage and sensitivity in monitoring networks and the extension of monitoring coverage utilizing new technologies, including the challenges and approaches for detection of weak signals.
ITU-R M.2083 – IMT Vision – Framework and overall objectives of the future development of IMT for 2020 and beyond	This Recommendation defines the framework and overall objectives of the future development of International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT) for 2020 and beyond in light of the roles that IMT could play to better serve the needs of the networked society, for both developed and developing countries, in the future. In this Recommendation, the framework of the future development of IMT for 2020 and beyond, including a broad variety of capabilities associated with envisaged usage scenarios, is described in detail. Furthermore, this Recommendation addresses the objectives of the future development of IMT for 2020 and beyond, which includes further enhancement of existing IMT and the development of IMT-2020. It should be noted that this Recommendation is defined considering the development of IMT to date based on Recommendation ITU-R M.1645.
