SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATED OPTIMIZATION OF SPECTRUM ALLOCATION

摘要

An automated spectrum exchange in which spectrum is a tradable commodity facilitates the transfer of rights associated with spectrum between parties. Also, a lack of available spectrum from offered spectrum that fulfills specified aspects in a request may be identified. Unallocated spectrum from a corresponding spectrum offer may be apportioned to fulfill the request with unallocated spectrum that matches the time duration and the geographic area aspects of the request, and that has a frequency range that is shifted from the frequency range of the request for at least a portion of the time duration.
