Device-based wireless transmission regulation for citizens broadband radio service

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• scanning, using a sensor associated with a device, at least a portion of a frequency band associated with Citizens Broadband Radio Service to generate sensor data indicating at least energy present in the portion of the frequency band, the sensor being configured to operate in the frequency band;
• determining, based at least in part on analyzing the sensor data, a presence of another device utilizing the frequency band, the other device being a priority user having priority access over the device, the priority user being one of an incumbent access user or a priority access user having a priority access license;
• adjusting, based at least in part on determining the presence of the other device, a device radio frequency (RF) transmission power for transmitting one or more communications within the frequency band;
• determining, based at least in part on the sensor data, a power level associated with a battery of the device;
• determining that the power level is below a threshold value;
• sending, based at least in part on the power level being below the threshold value, an instruction to a base station to determine the RF transmission power for the device;
• determining, after a lapse of a predetermined period of time, that an instruction indicating a channel within the frequency band for transmitting the one or more communications has not been received from the base station;
• increasing the device RF transmission power to a new device RF transmission power for transmitting the one or more communications within the frequency band;
• and
• sending an indication of the new device RF transmission power to the base station.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media associated with a device, the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions executable by one or more processors, wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• send, to a sensor associated with the device, the instruction to scan at least a portion of a frequency band associated with Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) to generate sensor data indicating at least energy present in the portion of the frequency band, the sensor being configured to operate in the frequency band;
• determine, based at least in part on analyzing the sensor data, a presence of another device utilizing the frequency band, the other device being a priority user having priority access over the device, the priority user being one of an incumbent access user or a priority access user having a priority access license;
• adjust, based at least in part on determining the presence of the other device, a device radio frequency (RF) transmission power for transmitting one or more communications within the frequency band;
• determine, based at least in part on the sensor data, a power level associated with a battery of the device;
• determine that the power level is below a threshold value;
• send, based at least in part on the power level being below the threshold value, an instruction to a base station to determine the RF transmission power for the device;
• and
• after a threshold amount of time passes without a response from the base station, increase the device RF transmission power and send an indication of the increased device RF transmission power to the base station.
