US 2026/0075433 A1 · ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SECONDARY USERS AND SPECTRUM MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Abstract

In a dynamic spectrum management apparatus, system, method, and computer program product first and second priority level secondary users dynamically use spectrum resources of a primary user. For second priority level secondary users, processing circuitry is configured to, based on blockchain, obtain a spectrum coordination request, acknowledged by a spectrum management apparatus, of another second priority level secondary user serving as a requester for the spectrum resources, wherein the blockchain at least comprises each second priority level secondary user, who is using or requests the use of the spectrum resources, serving as a node, and the spectrum coordination request indicates that the requester makes a request for the second priority level secondary user, who is using the spectrum resources, to perform coordination to provide an interference margin for the requester; and execute a first smart contract on the blockchain, so as to determine content of coordination to be performed.

Dependent claims

An electronic device for a second priority level secondary user in a dynamic spectrum sharing system, the dynamic spectrum sharing system comprising a primary user, a first priority level secondary user and the second priority level secondary user, the first priority level secondary user and the second priority level secondary user utilize spectrum resources of the primary user dynamically, and the first priority level is higher than the second priority level in terms of utilizing the spectrum resources of the primary user, the electronic device comprising:

at least one processor;
and
at least one memory including computer program code, where the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the electronic device to:
acquire, based on a block chain, a spectrum coordination request from another second priority level secondary user as a requester for the spectrum resources, which is confirmed by a spectrum management apparatus, wherein the block chain at least includes each second priority level secondary user which is utilizing the spectrum resources or requesting to utilize the spectrum resources as a node, and the spectrum coordination request indicates that the requester requests second priority level secondary users which are utilizing the spectrum resources to perform coordination so as to provide an interference margin for the requester;
