Automated frequency coordination for shared spectrum wireless systems

Abstract

Techniques are provided for managing frequency access in a shared spectrum available to a radio local access network (RLAN) in a wireless network. A shared spectrum system may perform operations including retrieving a plurality of parameters for one or more high-priority users in the wireless network; computing, based on the retrieved parameters, a plurality of interference-to-noise power ratio (I/N) contours; storing the plurality of I/N contours in a database; receiving, from an RLAN device in the wireless network, a request for spectrum availability, wherein the received request includes at least a first value; extracting, based on the first value in the request for spectrum availability, an I/N contour from the database matching RLAN parameters; determining, based on the extracted I/N contour, available frequency information corresponding to the received request for spectrum availability; and transmitting, to the RLAN device, the available frequency information.
