An apparatus and a method for allocating wireless channels are disclosed. For example, the method, by an aggregator, aggregates sensed information received from a plurality of sensing devices, by an analyzer, analyzes the sensed information that is aggregated and determines when an incumbent is not detected based on the analysis, and allocates, by a channel allocator, a wireless channel of the targeted frequency spectrum to a user equipment when the incumbent is not detected.

Allocating wireless channels

Examples provide an access node controller, an apparatus for an access node, an access node for a mobile communication system, a mobile communication system, method and computer program for an access node. The access node controller is configured to determine one or more transmission parameters for a first access node of a mobile communication system. The mobile communication system further comprises a second access node. The access node controller comprises one or more interfaces configured to obtain priority area information of the second access node. The second access node has priority access in the priority area compared to the first access node. The access node controller comprises a control module configured to control the one or more interfaces and configured to determine the one or more transmission parameters for the first access node based on the priority area information of the second access node and based on an access condition at a priority area boundary.

A non-transitory computer readable medium may store instructions that when executed by a processor direct the processor to perform a radio spectrum allocation method including processing requested radio access terms of one or more lower-tiered users and determining available radio access terms from one or more incumbents, generating a plurality of candidate radio access licenses based on the requested radio access terms and the available radio access terms, determining radio conditions of each of the plurality of candidate radio access licenses, and based on the determined radio conditions, selecting a radio access license from the plurality of candidate radio access licenses and directing the one or more lower-tiered users to use the selected radio access license or operated based on the selected radio access license.

Methods and devices for shared spectrum allocation

A communication circuit arrangement includes a sub sampling circuit configured to obtain wideband signal data including candidate reference sequences from a plurality of carrier channels and to downsample the wideband signal data to shift the candidate reference sequences closer to each other in frequency, a comparison circuit configured to compare the downsampled signal data to a composite detection sequence to detect whether any of the candidate reference sequences match any of a plurality of predefined reference sequences in the composite detection sequence, and a decision circuit configured to determine whether any of the plurality of carrier channels contain an active network based on the detection results.

Methods and devices for user detection in spectrum sharing

A mobile terminal device may include a radio processing circuit and a baseband processing circuit adapted to interact with the radio processing circuit. The mobile terminal device may be configured to transmit or receive a data sequence using a first channel and a second channel according to a data allocation ratio, wherein the data sequence is allocated between frequency division duplexing (FDD) transmission or reception and time division duplexing (TDD) transmission or reception according to the data allocation ratio, and concurrently to transmitting or receiving the data sequence, recurrently adjust the data allocation ratio to re-allocate the distribution of the data sequence between FDD transmission or reception and TDD transmission or reception on the first channel and the second channel.

Methods for performing mobile communications between mobile terminal devices, base stations, and network control devices

A shared spectrum network device in a higher-tier network may include one or more processors configured to receive information provided from a lower-tier network, estimate, based on the information, interference to the higher-tier network from one or more transmitters of the lower-tier network, compare the estimated interference to a threshold value, and identify a geographic zone in which transmission by one or more transmitters of the lower-tier network is limited based on the comparison.

SAS PAL GAA co-channel interference mitigation

A network control system configured to manage radio communication devices for a Spectrum Access System (SAS) shared spectrum wireless network is disclosed. The network control system may include a receiver to receive an estimate of a proximity to a Priority Access License (PAL) radio communication device for a plurality of user terminals. The estimate may be based on measurements of signals transmitted by the PAL radio communication device. The network control system may also include a processor configured to cause a user terminal to be configured to perform measurements based on the estimate of the proximity to the PAL radio communication device. The performed measurements may include an interference measurement indicative of interference to the PAL radio communication device from a General Authorized Access (GAA) radio communication device.

Uplink interference management in shared spectrum networks

Described herein are technologies related to an implementation of reducing a time cost of accessing a Licensed Shared Access (LSA) during a transmission opportunity in a transceiver circuitry of a portable device.
