Television band (TVBD) channel quieting across diverse radio access technologies

摘要

A method and apparatus for use in a spectrum manager are disclosed herein. A method includes receiving device parameters from a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) in a managed area, transmitting the device parameters to a central television band (TVBD) data base server, wherein the spectrum manager also stores the device parameters in a local database, receiving enabling information from the central TVBD data base server, and transmitting the enabling information to the WTRU in the managed area.

主权项

1. A method for use in a network node, the method comprising:
receiving device parameters from a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) in a managed area operating on a first channel using a radio access technology (RAT); sending the device parameters to a television band (TVBD) database; receiving enabling information from the TVBD database; determining a start time for a quiet period based on a radio characteristic of a radio access network on which the WTRU is operating; determining, based on the received enabling information and based on the start time for the quiet period, operational parameters for the WTRU; and sending the operational parameters to the WTRU.
