Systems, apparatus, and methods for indicating spectrum sharing

An electronic device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memory devices storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to
• transmit a registration request to a base station;
• receive a communication configuration from the base station that includes a spectrum allocation assignment, the communication configuration comprising an indication that the base station has shifted a center frequency associated with the spectrum allocation assignment;
• perform one or more power-backoff procedures in response to receiving the indication that the base station has shifted the center frequency;
• and
• communicate with the base station using the spectrum allocation assignment.

A method comprising:

• determining or receiving a channel allocation assignment, the channel allocation assignment defining a range of frequencies used when sending and receiving communications to and from user equipment,
• determining whether a center frequency of the range of frequencies aligns with a first raster of a first communication network and a second raster of a second communication network,
• shifting the center frequency to generate a shifted center frequency that aligns with the first raster and the second raster to enable a spectrum sharing operation in response to determining that the center frequency does not align with the first raster and the second raster,
• transmitting a communication configuration based on the shifted center frequency to the user equipment, and
• communicate with the user equipment using the spectrum sharing operation, the channel allocation assignment, and the range of frequencies.
