METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR FACILITATING DETERMINATION OF AVAILABLE SPECTRUM

摘要

Methods and apparatuses are provided for facilitating determination of available spectrum. A method may include receiving a query originated by a white space device for an indication of available frequency spectrum at a location of the white space device. The method may further include determining whether the location of the white space device is within an area served by a first database. In an instance in which it is determined that the location of the white space device is not within the area served by the first database, the method may additionally include determining a second database and causing access information for the second database to be provided to the white space device. The determined second database may serve an area including the location of the white space device. Corresponding apparatuses are also provided.
