Abstract
Techniques are provided for efficiently determining power allocation of radios utilizing shared spectrum by enhancing processing efficiency for determining aggregate interference levels in a region of points where aggregate interference must not exceed a threshold level. Processing efficiency is achieved by techniques identifying a subset of points in the region at which analysis must be performed.
Claims20
A program product for diminishing a number of points used to allocate interference margin to radios in a discovery area comprising a non-transitory processor readable medium on which program instructions are embodied, wherein the program instructions are configured, when executed by at least one programmable processor, to cause the at least one programmable processor to:
- determine that an average land category for a region is not a rural land category type as defined by the United Stated of America national land cover database, where the region comprises points;
- and
- upon determining that the average land category for the region is not the rural land category type, then:
- generate the discovery area around the region;
- determine a maximum elevation of the radios in the discovery area;
- determine a minimum elevation of all points in the region;
- determine that the maximum elevation less the minimum elevation is less than or equal to a differential altitude;
- and
- upon determining that the maximum elevation less the minimum elevation is not less than or equal to the differential altitude, then determine a subset of points in the discovery area at which aggregate interference from certain radios in the discovery area will be analyzed, where aggregate interference for each point is determined with a propagation model of a set of at least one propagation model to determine a maximum transmission power level of each of the radios in the discovery area, where the certain radios in the discovery area are configured to transmit at a power level equal to or less than a corresponding determined maximum transmission power level, and where the certain radios in the discovery area comprise all or a subset of the radios in the discovery area.
