Abstract
An electronic device includes communications circuitry configured to communicate with an assistance server. The electronic device transmits a spectrum access request to the assistance server and receives, in response, an available channel list ranked by respective aggregate noise floor metric values from the assistance server. The aggregate noise floor metric value for each channel in the ranked channel list is determined by the server to account for a location of the electronic device, noise from radio frequency devices, and an adjacent channel blocking profile of the communications circuitry.
