MANAGEMENT OF WIRELESS CHANNEL USE

摘要

According to an example, geographic locations of a wireless communication apparatus and an installation at which use of a predetermined channel is authorized, in which the predetermined channel corresponds to a predetermined range of frequencies that are unauthorized for public use may be determined. In addition, a determination may be made as to whether the wireless communication apparatus is outside of a predefined distance from the installation. Moreover, in response to a determination that the wireless communication apparatus is outside of the predefined distance, the wireless communication apparatus may be allowed to use the predetermined channel and in response to a determination the wireless communication apparatus is within the predetermined distance, the wireless communication apparatus may be restricted in its use of the predetermined channel.
