Methods and apparatus for wireless spectrum allocation across multiple entities

Computerized network apparatus, comprising:

• digital processor apparatus;
• a data interface in data communication with the digital processor apparatus;
• and
• storage apparatus in data communication with the digital processor apparatus and comprising a storage medium having at least one computer program comprised of a plurality of instructions, the plurality of instructions configured to, when executed on the digital processor apparatus, cause the computerized network apparatus to:
• obtain data related to a first wireless network associated with the computerized network apparatus;
• generate at least one initial wireless spectrum allocation for the first wireless network based at least on the obtained data;
• receive, via at least the data interface, at least one initial wireless spectrum allocation from at least one other computerized network apparatus, the received at least one initial wireless spectrum allocation relating to the first wireless network;
• based at least on the received at least one initial wireless spectrum allocation and the generated at least one initial wireless spectrum allocation, determine that a reconciliation algorithm is required to reconcile the received at least one initial wireless spectrum allocation and the generated at least one initial wireless spectrum allocation;
• apply the reconciliation algorithm to at least one of the received at least one initial wireless spectrum allocation or the generated at least one initial wireless spectrum allocation in order to generate at least one supplementary wireless spectrum allocation relating to the first wireless network;
• and
• cause forwarding of the at least one supplementary wireless spectrum allocation to the at least one other computerized network apparatus, the forwarding of the at least one supplementary wireless spectrum allocation at least in part enabling convergence on a final wireless spectrum allocation relating to the first wireless network.

A computerized method for providing allocation of at least a portion of a wireless spectrum, the computerized method comprising:

• receiving data indicative of a first allocation, generated using a first network entity, of wireless spectrum to one or more base stations within a first wireless network;
• receiving data indicative of a second allocation, generated using a second network entity, of wireless spectrum to the one or more base stations within the first wireless network;
• based at least on the received data indicative of the first allocation and the received data indicative of the second allocation, generating, via application of a reconciliation algorithm, at least one supplementary wireless spectrum allocation;
• and
• cause forwarding of the at least one supplementary wireless spectrum allocation to at least one of the first network entity or the second network entity, the forwarding of the at least one supplementary wireless spectrum allocation at least in part enabling convergence on final wireless spectrum allocations for each of the first network entity and the second network entity.
