Abstract
In a non-limiting and exemplary embodiment, a method is provided for sharing secondary cognitive radio resource user related information. A coexistence node receives information on network properties associated with secondary cognitive radio resource users. An upload message is generated and sent, the upload message comprising for a secondary user database at least information on the received network properties associated with secondary cognitive radio resource users. A location-dependent network map comprising at least information on network properties is generated. The network map is sent to assist one or more secondary cognitive radio resource users.
Claims14
A method comprising:
- receiving wirelessly, by a coexistence node in a wireless network, said coexistence node being connected to a coexistence manager, from a device connected to one of the wireless network and a neighboring coexisting network, information on network properties of the neighboring coexisting network, the neighboring coexisting network not being connected to the coexistence manager, and
- sending wirelessly, by the coexistence node, an upload message to the coexistence manager, the upload message comprising, for a secondary user database, at least said information on the network properties of the neighboring coexisting network.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including computer program code,
- the at least one memory and the computer program code configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to perform:
- receive wirelessly, by the apparatus in a wireless network, the apparatus being connected to a coexistence manager, from a device connected to one of the wireless network and a neighboring coexisting network, information on network properties of the neighboring coexisting network, the neighboring coexisting network not being connected to the coexistence manager, and
- send wirelessly, by the apparatus, an upload message to the coexistence manager, the upload message comprising, for a secondary user database, at least said information on the network properties of the neighboring coexisting network.
An apparatus comprising:
- means for receiving wirelessly, by the apparatus in a wireless network, the apparatus being connected to a coexistence manager, from a device connected to one of the wireless network and a neighboring coexisting network, information on network properties of the neighboring coexisting network, the neighboring coexisting network not being connected to the coexistence manager, and
- means for sending wirelessly, by the apparatus, an upload message to the coexistence manager, the upload message comprising, for a secondary user database, at least said information on the network properties of the neighboring coexisting network.
