Dynamic frequency spectrum re-allocation

摘要

A method of dynamically re-allocating a frequency spectrum to a plurality of radio networks (RNs; 16 ) in accordance with a predefined spectrum allocation scheme is described. A spectrum resource is previously allocated to each RN ( 16 ) or group of RNs ( 16, 16 '). An electronic spectrum request for a RN ( 16 ) or a group of RNs ( 16, 16 ') is generated and transmitted via a communications network ( 18 ) to a server infrastructure ( 12 ) which also receives electronic spectrum requests for other RNs ( 16 ), the server infrastructure ( 12 ) processing the received electronic spectrum requests in accordance with the spectrum re-allocation scheme to re-allocate the spectrum resources to the plurality of RNs ( 16 ).
