Method and apparatus for white space operation by a mobile entity

摘要

A method operable by an access point for using white space (WS) bandwidth in wireless communication service includes receiving a request to establish a connection from a mobile entity. The method further includes forwarding the request to a service authentication entity to authenticate the mobile entity for the service, and obtaining authorization for service and white space (WS) parameters for the mobile entity from the service authentication entity. The method further includes determining the connection is operating in WS; and authenticating the mobile entity for the service in the WS based at least in part on the received WS parameters. A complementary method is performed by a service authentication entity. Wireless communication apparatus are configured to perform the methods by executing instructions stored on a computer-readable medium.
