Method and apparatus for regulatory database protocol discovery

An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
• access one or more white space database identifiers, wherein the one or more white space database identifiers correspond to a white space database assigned to a region;
• determine whether the one or more database identifiers match a database identifier associated with a schema, wherein the schema defines one or more parameters for exchanging information with a white space spectrum database;
• and
• select the schema that is associated with the matched database identifier.

A computer program product comprising:

• at least one computer readable non-transitory memory medium having program code stored thereon, the program code which when executed by an apparatus cause the apparatus at least to:
• access one or more white space database identifiers, wherein the one or more white space database identifiers correspond to a white space database assigned to a region;
• determine whether the one or more database identifiers match a database identifier associated with a schema, wherein the schema defines one or more parameters for exchanging information with a white space spectrum database;
• and
• select the schema that is associated with the matched database identifier.
