Method and apparatus for white space operation by a mobile entity

摘要

A method by an access point for wireless communication service includes receiving configuration parameters from a core network entity for operation as a base station using at least one non-white space (non-WS) bandwidth. The method further includes determining whether the received configuration parameters comprise an indication for the access point to use white space (WS) for the service. The method further includes requesting authorization information from a WS database to operate in the WS, in response to the received parameters comprising the indication. An access point comprising a processor, memory and transceiver may be configured to perform the elements of the method, using a computer-readable storage medium or other means.

1. A method operable by an access point for wireless communication service, the method comprising:
receiving configuration parameters, from a core network entity, for the access point to operate as a base station using at least one non-white space (non-WS) bandwidth, the configuration parameters including a set of one or more bandwidths that may be used by the access point to facilitate the wireless communication service; determining whether the set of one or more bandwidths includes at least a first white space (WS) bandwidth for the access point to use WS for the wireless communication service; and in response to a determination that the set of one or more bandwidths includes at least the first WS bandwidth, transmitting a request to a WS database for requesting authorization information to operate in the WS using the first WS bandwidth, the request including the first white space bandwidth.
