Abstract
An unlicensed access point is configured to identify its location and to determine licensed 6 GHz users near that location. The access point periodically generates a beacon frame including a request for location information. Client devices within range of the beacon frame provide their location information to the access point. The access point access point uses the location information gathered from client devices to determine its own location. The access point communicates with a central database containing information on registered licenses within the 6 GHz communication band at the location determined from the client devices. The access point then selects a communication channel within the 6 GHz band that does not conflict with any licensed users in the area, and provides Wi-Fi communication over the selected channel.
