Interference classification of wireless incumbents using spectral analysis and afc query

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory having instructions stored thereon which, when executed on the processor, performs operations comprising:
• communicating a query indicating indicates a geographical location of a wireless communication network that uses a wireless communication band;
• receiving a list of one or more wireless devices operating in the wireless communication band used by the wireless communication network, wherein the one or more wireless devices are selected, based on geographical locations of the one or more devices and the geographical location of the wireless communication network, from a plurality of wireless devices operating in the wireless communication band, wherein the list indicates spectral data for the one or more wireless devices;
• scanning a plurality of radio channels of the wireless communication band to determine spectral data for the plurality of radio channels;
• and
• identifying an interfering device for the wireless communication network based on determining a wireless device of the one or more wireless devices that has spectral data indicated by the list that overlaps with the spectral data from the scanning.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, performs operations comprising:

• communicating, by a processor, a query indicating a geographical location of a wireless communication network that uses a wireless communication band;
• receiving a list of one or more wireless devices operating in the wireless communication band used by the wireless communication network, wherein the one or more wireless devices are selected, based on geographical locations of the one or more devices and the geographical location of the wireless communication network, from a plurality of wireless devices operating in the wireless communication band, wherein the list indicates spectral data for the one or more wireless devices;
• scanning a plurality of radio channels of the wireless communication band to determine spectral data for the plurality of radio channels;
• and
• identifying an interfering device for the wireless communication network based on determining a wireless device of the one or more wireless devices that has spectral data indicated by the list that overlaps with the spectral data from the scanning.
