The disclosed methods, systems, and computer-program products generate location-based RF spectrum rights for components in a radio frequency (RF) system. In an embodiment, a location-based spectrum right for an RF system's operational use of RF spectrum includes the spectrum rights of each component of the system, a definition of all locations at which each component might possibly operate, and a specified time period of this operational use. In an additional embodiment, the location-based RF spectrum right include a transmitter right and a receiver right, and the transmitter and receiver rights may be based on a combination of maximum power density, spectrum masks, underlay masks, power maps, locations, minimum power density, start times, end times, protocol specifications, and rules. Most transmitter rights and all receiver rights include propagation maps to articulate the rate at which signals attenuate away from transmitters and toward receivers. |
