The management of radio resources is an important task, especially in industrial wireless applications, to ensure dependable communication. Spectrum sensing, the classification of users and the type of industrial application as well as the development of appropriate resource allocation measures are subject of research. Evaluating the benefits of these measures cannot be achieved by simulations or measurements in real environments. The use in real systems is also not a suitable means for targeted analysis. This paper presents an approach for validating the individual functions of an automated coexistence management. The validation procedure is described with the help of concrete coexistence management functions. This concerns the concepts, the implementations and the execution of tests. The goal is to provide a validation platform for reproducible and standardisable tests to support the development of methods and algorithms for automated coexistence management solutions.
