Communication device, program and communication control method

A communication control method in a communication device comprising the steps of:

• acquiring data related to a surrounding communication environment;
• transmitting, to a processing apparatus having authority for permitting usage of a second communication service using a part or whole of a spectrum assigned to a first communication service, a signal requesting granting of the authority for permitting usage of the second communication service;
• and
• permitting usage of the second communication service to another communication device located nearby based on the acquired data,
• wherein when the acquired data does not meet a specific criterion, data related to a communication environment is received from the another communication device located near the communication device,
• wherein the another communication device is located at a position where direct communication with the processing apparatus is not possible, and
• wherein the data related to the communication environment received from the another communication device comprises distributed sensing data gathered by the another communication device by sensing the communication environment surrounding the another communication device.

A tangibly-embodied non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, causes a communication device to perform a method comprising:

• acquiring data related to a surrounding communication environment;
• transmitting, to a processing apparatus having authority for permitting usage of a second communication service using a part or whole of a spectrum assigned to a first communication service, a signal requesting granting of the authority for permitting usage of the second communication service;
• and
• permitting usage of the second communication service to another communication device located nearby based on the acquired data,
• wherein when the acquired data does not meet a specific criterion, data related to a communication environment is received from the another communication device located near the communication device,
• wherein the another communication device is located at a position where direct communication with the processing apparatus is not possible, and
• wherein the data related to the communication environment received from the another communication device comprises distributed sensing data gathered by the another communication device by sensing the communication environment surrounding the another communication device.
