发明名称 System and method for policy-based spectrum management
摘要 Managing spectrum use in a managed area where spectrum use is carried out by an incumbent user on an intermittent basis includes sensing spectrum use in the managed area and determining that the incumbent spectrum user is actively using spectrum in the managed area by analyzing sensor data. A spectrum use policy associated with characteristics of the determined spectrum use is made and one or more secondary spectrum users are notified that spectrum defined in the identified policy is unavailable for use by the one or more secondary users.

主权项 1. A method of managing spectrum use in a managed area, comprising: sensing spectrum use with one or more spectrum sensors deployed in the managed area to sense spectrum use in the managed area, each sensor generating corresponding sensor data; determining that an incumbent spectrum user is actively using spectrum in the managed area by analyzing the sensor data from the one or more spectrum sensors to identify that one of plural incumbent user detection triggers is tripped, each detection trigger defined by one or more spectrum use variables that indicate presence of a corresponding incumbent user, and each detection trigger is associated with a spectrum use policy, and wherein spectrum use in the managed area by the incumbent user is carried out on an intermittent basis; identifying the spectrum use policy from the plurality of spectrum use policies that corresponds to the tripped detection trigger, each of the spectrum use policies relating to predetermined incumbent spectrum user protections, the identified spectrum use policy comprising a spectrum use prohibition by secondary spectrum users in a predetermined geographic area of the managed area for spectrum occupied by the incumbent user, the predetermined geographic area smaller than the managed area and protecting the incumbent user from interference by the secondary spectrum users; and creating a new or modifying an existing set of spectrum use permissions that allow use of spectrum defined in the set of spectrum use permissions by the secondary users without violation of the spectrum use prohibition of the spectrum use policy, and notifying one or more secondary spectrum users of the new or modified set of spectrum use permissions.
