CBSD Antenna: The radiating element(s) of the CBSD. Each CBSD has one CBSD Antenna. Note that the CBSD’s antenna may be instantiated with multiple physical antennas (e.g., an antenna array for MIMO operation), but those antennas must be transmitting one aggregate waveform collectively from a single geolocation, and with a total transmit power that conforms to all the CBSD’s registration parameters and authorized transmit power levels provided by the SAS in its active Grants (e.g., maximum allowable EIRP).. [Source: WINNF-16-S-0016 SAS to CBSD Technical Specification V1.0.1]
CBSD-ID: The system-wide unique identifier for registered CBSDs. [Source: WINNF-15-S-0112-V2.0.0 CBRS Operational and Functional Requirements]

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. [Source: WINNF-16-S-0016 SAS to CBSD Technical Specification V1.0.1]

CPI Accreditation Standard: Standard defining how a CPI Training Program Administrator can be accredited to run a Certified Professional Installer (CPI) Training Program. The CPI Accreditation Standard includes a curriculum standard defining the requirements necessary for trainees to be certified as a Certified Professional Installer. The CPI Accreditation Standard includes a requirement for an objective certification test to be administered by a program administrator as part of the CPI Training Program. Passing this test is a prerequisite for an individual to be considered a Certified Professional Installer. [Source: WINNF-15-S-0112-V2.0.0 CBRS Operational and Functional Requirements]

CPI Training Program Administrator: Entity such as a network equipment operator, an equipment vendor, a SAS administrator or a 3rd party training organization that develops a Certified Professional Installer (CPI) Training Program, gains accreditation, administers the objective certification test and maintains certification records.[Source: WINNF-15-S-0112-V2.0.0 CBRS Operational and Functional Requirements]
Domain Proxy: 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 3650-3700 MHz band with a SAS to ensure compliance with Part 96 rules.

Grant: The authorization provided by a SAS to a CBSD, subject to a Heartbeat exchange, to transmit using specified operating parameters. Grants are identified by a unique Grant identifier. Once issued, a Grant’s operating parameters are never changed; if new or modified operating parameters are required, then a new Grant must be obtained. The Grant's operating parameters are maximum EIRP and Channel. A Grant can be in different states as defined in section 7. [Source: WINNF-16-S-0016 SAS to CBSD Technical Specification V1.0.1]
Group: A collection of CBSDs which are provided a special, common form of management by the SAS. The nature of the special management is dependent on Group type. [Source: WINNF-16-S-0016 SAS to CBSD Technical Specification V1.0.1]
Managing SAS: The SAS that administers a PAL and serves the CBSDs that form the Cluster List of a PPA registered to a PAL Holder that is authorized to use that PAL. This Managing SAS is the SAS which accepts, checks, and validates a PPA claim and which issues a PPA-ID for a valid PPA, and which shares the PPA-ID and the PPA vertex points with all SASs. Subsequently, the Managing SAS serves the CBSDs on the PPA Cluster List. The Managing SAS also serves CBSDs using GAA grants and their CBSD Users.
