Abstract
A technique for assigning spectral resources in a cellular network for wireless communications is described. The spectral resources are partly utilized by other applications. As to a method aspect of the technique, a controller (100) of the cellular network receives information (702) indicative of one or more geographical areas and restrictions within the one or more geographical areas (1002). The spectral resources are assigned based on the received information (702).
Claims31
1-30. (canceled)
A method of assigning spectral resources in a cellular network for wireless communications, wherein the spectral resources are partly utilized by other applications, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a controller of the cellular network, information indicative of one or more geographical areas and restrictions within the one or more geographical areas;
- and
- assigning spectral resources based on the received information.
The method of 31, wherein the restrictions relate to at least one of:
- geographical aspects;
- frequency aspects;
- power level aspects;
- and timing aspects.
A method of assisting in the assignment of spectral resources in a cellular network for wireless communications, wherein the spectral resources are partly utilized by other applications, the method comprising:
- storing a set of restrictions for the spectral resources;
- and
- sending, to a controller of the cellular network, information indicative of one or more geographical areas and restrictions within the one or more geographical areas.
A computer program product stored in a non-transitory computer readable medium for assigning spectral resources in a cellular network for wireless communications, wherein the spectral resources are partly utilized by other applications, the computer program product comprising software instructions which, when executed on one or more computing devices, causes the computing device to:
- receive, at a controller of the cellular network, information indicative of one or more geographical areas and restrictions within the one or more geographical areas;
- and
- assign spectral resources based on the received information.
