Abstract
A dynamic spectrum arbitrage (DSA) system includes a plurality of femtocells, a home eNodeB gateway (HGW) coupled to each of the plurality of femtocells, a dynamic spectrum controller (DSC) coupled to the HGW, and a dynamic spectrum policy controller (DPC) coupled to the DSC and a plurality of other DSCs. Each of the femtocells may be configured to monitor network conditions, generate congestion reports based on a result of the monitoring, and send the generated congestion reports to the HGW. The HGW may be configured to receive congestion reports from many different femtocells, generate congestion state information based on the received congestion reports, and send the congestion state information to the DSC. The DSC may be configured to receiving the congestion state information from one or more HGWs, and use the received congestion state information to perform intelligent DSA operations (e.g., allocating resources, requesting handins, performing backoff operations, etc.).
