SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR POLICY-BASED SPECTRUM MANAGEMENT

摘要

Managing spectrum use in a managed area (12) where spectrum use is carried out by an incumbent user (14) on an intermittent basis includes sensing spectrum use in the managed area and determining that the incumbent spectrum user is actively using spectrum in the managed area by analyzing sensor data. A spectrum use policy associated with characteristics of the determined spectrum use is made and one or more secondary spectrum (16) users are notified that spectrum defined in the identified policy is unavailable for use by the one or more secondary users.
