Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, methods and apparatus to configure low power transmitters that operate in unlicensed 6 GHz spectrum in an effort to reduce the likelihood that the low power transmitters will cause interference to incumbent operators of fixed microwave links in the same 6 GHz spectrum. The low power transmitters may be any transmitter in the unlicensed spectrum, including for example, low power indoor access points, 5G small cells, and the like. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- a processing system including a processor;
- and
- a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- determining a location of a low power indoor transmitter;
- accessing database records that include information describing fixed microwave links;
- determining at least one frequency channel usable by the low power indoor transmitter, wherein the determining is based at least in part on the location of the low power indoor transmitter and the information describing the fixed microwave links;
- and
- providing data identifying the at least one frequency channel to the low power indoor transmitter.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- determining a location of a low power indoor transmitter;
- accessing database records that include information describing fixed microwave links;
- determining at least one frequency channel available for use by the low power indoor transmitter, wherein the determining is based at least in part on the location of the low power indoor transmitter and the information describing the fixed microwave links;
- and
- providing data identifying the at least one frequency channel to the low power indoor transmitter.
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a processing system including a processor, a location of a low power indoor transmitter;
- accessing, by the processing system, database records that include information describing fixed microwave links;
- determining, by the processing system, at least one frequency channel usable by the low power indoor transmitter, wherein the determining is based at least in part on the location of the low power indoor transmitter and the information describing the fixed microwave links;
- and
- providing, by the processing system, data identifying the at least one frequency channel to the low power indoor transmitter.
