This document describes an apparatus for providing an advance indication of channels available for use by a mobile device travelling along a geographic path. The path extends across two or more cells, with each cell defining a particular set of radio channels available for use by the mobile device in that cell. The apparatus is configured to receive predicted geographic path signalling associated with prediction of the geographic path to be taken by the mobile device. The apparatus is also configured to determine radio channels available for use by the mobile device along that path. The apparatus is also configured to provide, in advance, an indication of the radio channels available for use by the mobile device along the geographic path in each respective cell along the path.

Apparatus and associated methods for determining available channels based on predicted movement

A communication apparatus including at least one user data communication block configured to transport user data, the user data communication block comprising two or more logical sub blocks configured to process user data on different protocol layers, wherein at least one of said sub blocks is configured to perform spectrum sensing.
