Cell selection in dynamic spectrum arbitrage system

摘要

A dynamic spectrum arbitrage (DSA) system may include a dynamic spectrum policy controller (DPC) and a dynamic spectrum controller (DSC) that together dynamically manage the allocation and use of resources (e.g., spectrum resources) across different networks. A wireless device may be configured to intelligently select and use these allocated resources. For example, the wireless device may be configured to traverse an ordered list of preferred of networks to identify and select a first cell site in a first telecommunication network, establish a first communication link between the wireless device and the selected first cell site, receive network information identifying a geographic region in which the wireless device is allowed to use resources of a second telecommunication network, determine whether the wireless device is in the geographical region, and establish a second communication link to a second cell in the second telecommunication network based on the received network information.

主权项

1. A dynamic spectrum arbitrage (DSA) method, comprising:
traversing by a processor of a wireless device an ordered list of preferred networks to select a first cell site in a first telecommunication network, wherein the first telecommunication network is a home network of the wireless device; establishing a first communication link between the wireless device and the selected first cell site in the home network; receiving in the wireless device network information identifying a geographic region in which the wireless device is allowed to use resources of a second telecommunication network, wherein the second telecommunication network is a lessor network that is different than the home network of the wireless device; determining whether the wireless device is in the geographical region; and establishing a second communication link between the wireless device and a second cell in the lessor network based on the received network information and in response to determining that the wireless device is in the geographical region.
