Abstract
Spectrum resource sharing management is described, e.g., a user equipment can determine a metric representative of a quality of a communication signal received by the user equipment, wherein the communication signal is received via a first mobile network operated by a first mobile network operator entity. In response to the metric being determined to be below a threshold, the user equipment can scan a group of frequency bands. The user equipment can receive a broadcast signal from a network node device via a frequency band of the group of frequencies, wherein the broadcast signal comprises a performance parameter and cost information, and wherein the network node device is associated with a second mobile network operated by a second mobile network operator entity. In response to an evaluation of the performance parameter and the cost information, the user equipment can determine whether to select the network node device to engage in cellular transmissions between the user equipment and the network node device.
