The present invention refers to a spectrum manager (300) for allocating a shared frequency spectrum in a wireless communication system, said wireless communication system comprises a plurality of base stations (310, 320) for wireless communication with terminals, said plurality of base stations (310, 320) being operated by at least two operators, said spectrum manager (300) being configured to group the plurality of base stations into clusters based on spectrum demand related information; and determine a spectrum partition pattern for each cluster based on the spectrum demand related information and information of the grouped based station clusters, a spectrum partition pattern specifying the partition and allocation of frequency spectrum fragments to said at least two operators in a corresponding cluster of said wireless communication system, wherein a frequency spectrum fragment is allocated to only one of said at least two operators in each cluster, and forward information regarding the spectrum partition pattern to the plurality of base stations or to one or a plurality of network entities of the at least two operators. The invention further refers to a corresponding method for allocating a shared spectrum to operators, as well as corresponding base station and method. |
