Abstract
A technique for spectrum sensing management and control for a secondary communication system seeking to utilize another communication system's spectrum is provided (). Sensor control data is sent from a base station to subscriber units (). Sensing measurements are taken and sent back to the base station for ranking () as sensed feedback information. Comparisons of the sensed feedback information are made to each other and to thresholds aligned with the types of measurements taken (). An initial ranked channel list is generated (). Weighting of the initial ranking list and secondary ranking list is followed by re-ranking the channels according to the weighting into a final ranking list (). The final ranking list is transmitted to the mobile units to enable operation within the other communication system's spectrum within interfering with that system (). The weighting is based on the type of sensing measurement taken as opposed to the channel.
