Abstract
A data driven spectrum sharing approach is implemented amongst users of a shared band. A spectrum access controller (SAC) estimates interference and allocates spectrum in one or more bands to a plurality of spectrum user devices, e.g., macro base stations, small cell base stations, access points, etc. Different spectrum user devices in the plurality of spectrum user devices may correspond to different service providers, may use different technologies, may use different communications protocols, and/or may have different transmission power levels. The spectrum user devices send data feedback reports to the SAC including, e.g., received signals strength information, signal quality information, interference information, etc. The SAC uses the received data feedback reports to adjust, e.g., fine tune, interference limits and/or propagation model parameters. The SAC uses the adjusted, e.g., refined, interference limits and adjusted, e.g., refined propagation models, to make more accurate decisions regarding spectrum reuse.
