Dynamic certification system for wireless spectrum sharing

摘要

This disclosure is directed to a dynamic certification system. In general, a device may transmit a request message to a cloud spectrum broker/licensed shared access (CSB/LSA) controller requesting certification for operation in shared wireless spectrum. The device may then receive a response message containing information on available certifications for operating in the shared wireless spectrum. If at least one available certification is determined to be usable by the device, then, depending on the system configuration, the device may claim an available certification (e.g., by obtaining an electronic certification document, token, etc.) or may request to use an available certificate, which may be confirmed by the CSB/LSA controller. The device may then operate in the shared wireless spectrum based on conditions set forth in the certificate.

主权项

1. A device, comprising:
a communication module to communicate via at least a wireless communication; and a dynamic certification module to manage operation of the communication module based on a certification, the certification allowing the communication module to operate in shared wireless spectrum based on at least one of time, device location or frequency bands; wherein: the certification comprises at least one of an electronic certification document or electronic token received in the device from a cloud spectrum broker/licensed shared access (CSB/LSA) controller; the dynamic certification module is further to receive a response message from the CSB/LSA controller, the response message comprising at least available certification information including for each available certification at least a certification ID, certification validity information and certification region information; and the dynamic certification module is further to determine if any of the available certifications are usable by the device for operating in the shared wireless spectrum, and if any of the available certifications are determined to be usable by the device, to cause an available certification request message to be transmitted to the CSB/LSA controller, the available certification request message including at least one certification ID corresponding to an available certification.
