COEXISTENCE OF HETEROGENEOUS SECONDARY NETWORKS

摘要

Method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments are disclosed to provide for wireless resource sharing between heterogeneous wireless networks to enable coexistence in a TV band white space. An example embodiment of the invention includes a method, comprising the steps of: identifying a potential neighboring wireless network to a wireless network based on information exchanged with a network controller serving the potential neighboring wireless network; and sending a reporting interferer request to the network controller serving the potential neighboring wireless network in response to determining that the potential neighboring wireless network is an interferer network to the wireless network.
