Functionality is described by selecting a channel in an environment in which non-privileged entities have subordinate access rights to spectrum compared to privileged entities. The functionality operates by identifying spectrum that is available to all nodes involved in communication (where the nodes are associated with non-privileged entities). The functionality then generates a suitability assessment for each candidate channel within the available spectrum. The functionality selects a channel having the most desirable suitability assessment. The functionality can form a suitability assessment for a candidate channel of arbitrary width, e.g., by combining suitability assessments associated with constituent spectrum units within the candidate channel.
A method, using electronic data processing functionality, for selecting a channel for a first node within a spectrum used by privileged entities, the first node constituting a non-privileged entity having subordinate rights to the spectrum compared to the privileged entities, the method comprising:
A computer readable medium for storing computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions providing a channel assignment module when executed by one or more processing devices, the computer readable instructions comprising:
A channel assignment module for selecting a channel for a first node within a spectrum used by privileged entities, the first node constituting a non-privileged entity having subordinate rights to the spectrum compared to the privileged entities, the method comprising:
