Abstract
The present disclosure describes systems and methods that facilitate the transfer rights associated with spectrum between parties. Access to spectrum for wireless communications may be transferred from a spectrum holder to a spectrum user while minimizing their role in submitting regulatory agency compliance filings. As a result, parties may transfer spectrum with relative ease, with faster transaction time and lower expense. This leads to more efficient use of the spectrum.
Claims27
A computer implemented method of transferring rights associated with spectrum, comprising:
- receiving a description of spectrum that is available for sublease from a spectrum holder, the spectrum description including geographic information, frequency information and time information;
- creating a sublease agreement between the spectrum holder and a spectrum intermediary for the described spectrum;
- submitting a regulatory agency filing for the sublease to the regulatory agency;
- and
- granting a spectrum user access to at least an apportioned amount of the spectrum, the spectrum user controlled by the spectrum intermediary to operate as a subnetwork within confines of the sublease.
A computer implemented method of transferring rights associated with spectrum, comprising:
- receiving a description of spectrum that is available for sublease from a spectrum holder, the spectrum description including geographic information, frequency information and time information;
- creating an agreement between the spectrum holder and a spectrum intermediary that entitles the spectrum intermediary to sublease all or part of the described spectrum to another entity;
- and
- listing at least a portion of the described spectrum on an automated spectrum exchange as a tradable commodity.
A system for transferring rights associated with spectrum, comprising:
- a memory that stores executable code;
- and
- a processor that executes the code, wherein the code stored by the memory and executed by the processor contains logic to:
- receive a description of spectrum that is available for sublease from a spectrum holder, the spectrum description including geographic information, frequency information and time information;
- create a sublease agreement between the spectrum holder and a spectrum intermediary for the described spectrum;
- submit a regulatory agency filing for the sublease to the regulatory agency;
- and
- grant a spectrum user access to at least an apportioned amount of the spectrum, the spectrum user controlled by the spectrum intermediary to operate as a subnetwork within confines of the sublease.
