Abstract
Methods and systems for sharing a spectrum are described. In some examples, signal energy is determined in a channel of the spectrum by the access node. The channel is one of at least two channels including a first channel and a second channel. The first channel is associated with a first energy detection threshold (EDT), the second channel is associated with a second EDT that is different from the first EDT. A signal belonging to a traffic type is transmitted over the channel of the spectrum in response to the determined signal energy satisfying a criteria in related to the first EDT or the second EDT.
Claims20
A method, at an access node, for sharing a spectrum, comprising:
- determining signal energy in a channel of the spectrum by the access node, wherein the channel is one of at least two channels including a first channel and a second channel, the first channel being associated with a first energy detection threshold (EDT), and the second channel being associated with a second EDT that is different from the first EDT;
- and
- transmitting a signal belonging to a traffic type over the channel of the spectrum in response to the determined signal energy satisfying a criteria related to the first EDT or the second EDT.
An access node comprising:
- a processor in communication with a storage, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to cause the access node to:
- determine signal energy in a channel of the spectrum by the access node, wherein the channel is one of at least two channels including a first channel and a second channel, the first channel being associated with a first energy detection threshold (EDT), and the second channel being associated with a second EDT that is different from the first EDT;
- and
- transmit a signal belonging to a traffic type over the channel of the spectrum in response to the determined signal energy satisfying a criteria related to the first EDT or the second EDT.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- determine signal energy in a channel of the spectrum by an access node, wherein the channel is one of at least two channels including a first channel and a second channel, the first channel being associated with a first energy detection threshold (EDT), and the second channel being associated with a second EDT that is different from the first EDT;
- and
- transmit a signal belonging to a traffic type over the channel of the spectrum in response to the determined signal energy satisfying a criteria related to the first EDT or the second EDT.
