Abstract
A wireless access unit ( ) for providing an interface between a satellite communications system ( ) and a plurality of terrestrial user devices ( ) in a centralized or distributed architecture includes a spectrum allocation unit ( ) for dynamically allocating spectrum to the plurality of terrestrial user devices ( ) based on a spectral environment about the wireless access unit ( ). A spectrum scan unit ( ) scans the spectral environment about the wireless access unit ( ) and generates a spectrum signal indicative thereof. An environment understanding unit ( ) provides signal information corresponding to signal emitters in proximity to the distributed or centralized network. A spectrum table ( ) assembles data related to the spectral environment and the proximity emitters for use by the spectrum allocation unit ( ) in dynamically allocating spectrum.
