Guard band usage for wireless data transmission

摘要

Techniques for guard band usage for wireless data transmission are described. In at least some embodiments, white spaces in the radio spectrum (e.g., television (TV) white spaces) and guard bands between licensed bands of the radio spectrum are leveraged for data transmission. Based on available white spaces and service deployment in the licensed bands, various decisions can be made regarding how to leverage white spaces and guard bands for wireless data transmission.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and one or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to perform operations including:
receiving identifiers for guard bands in a region and an indication as to whether there is service deployment in a licensed band adjacent to a guard band in the region;utilizing the guard band for wireless data transmission; anddetermining whether to monitor for signal activity in the licensed band adjacent to the guard band based on whether there is service deployment in the licensed band, such that in an event that signal activity is detected in the licensed band, usage of the guard band for the wireless data transmission is adjusted.
