Abstract

Techniques for identifying wireless transmission opportunities that are made available by beamforming is provided. In addition to identifying frequency bands and time divisions that are available for transmitting radio signals, beamforming capabilities of communications systems are used to identify a spatial direction that is available for transmitting radio signals in a particular frequency band. A spectrum management tool identifies the available spatial directions, frequency bands, and time divisions for transmission in a dynamic spectrum sharing environment, and a radio transmitting device is configured by the tool to transmit in the identified available spatial directions, frequency bands, and time divisions.
