Tiered re-allocation of wireless channels

A system comprising:

• customer premises equipment operative to:
• receive notification of a wireless channel provisionally reallocated from allocation management hardware to the customer premises equipment to communicate with a wireless base station, the allocation management hardware allocated the wireless channel from a spectrum access system, the allocation management hardware disparately located with respect to the spectrum access system;
• in response to receiving the notification, generate a request to use the wireless channel;
• and
• communicate the request to the spectrum access system to register use of the wireless channel by the customer premises equipment in the wireless network environment.

A method comprising:

• at a first location in a wireless network environment, scanning a wireless spectrum to detect interference levels associated with multiple wireless channels;
• communicating scan information indicating the detected interference levels to allocation management hardware;
• from the allocation management hardware, receiving notification of a wireless channel assigned to first customer premises equipment being installed at the first location, the wireless channel selected from multiple wireless channels allocated for use by a spectrum access system, the allocation management hardware disparately located with respect to the spectrum access system;
• and
• configuring the first customer premises equipment at the first location with the assigned wireless channel to communicate in the wireless network environment.

Computer-readable storage hardware having instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when carried out by computer processor hardware, cause the computer processor hardware to:

• receive notification of a wireless channel provisionally reallocated from allocation management hardware to the customer premises equipment to communicate with a wireless base station, the allocation management hardware allocated the wireless channel from a spectrum access system, the allocation management hardware disparately located with respect to the spectrum access system;
• in response to receiving the notification, generate a request to use the wireless channel;
• and
• communicate the request to the spectrum access system to register use of the wireless channel by the customer premises equipment in the wireless network environment.
