20140221000 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ALLOCATING SPECTRUM USING DYNAMICALLY ADJUSTED SEPARATION DISTANCES FOR MITIGATING INTERFERENCE - Allocating spectrum to a secondary radio device includes determining a contour separation distance for the secondary radio device. The contour separation distance is a function of a minimum separation distance from protected areas of primary radio devices and an accuracy variance for the secondary radio device. The accuracy variance is specified as a distance and is a function of accuracy information for a reported location of the secondary radio device. If a distance between a contour of a protected area for a primary radio device and the reported location for the secondary radio device is less than the contour separation distance, a channel used by the primary radio device is not available for use by the secondary radio device for wireless communications. Otherwise the channel used by the primary radio device is available for use by the secondary radio device for wireless communications. | 08-07-2014 |

At least two adjacent ones of the geographic areas have different channel availability. | 04-16-2015 |
20150282147 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPTIMIZING CHANNEL CHARACTERISTICS WHEN INITIALIZING LINKS BETWEEN COGNITIVE RADIOS IN A SHARED SPECTRUM ENVIRONMENT - Systems and methods to facilitate acquisition of specific operating parameters by a spoke radio device via a hub radio device while the hub radio device operates using specific operating parameters and the spoke radio device operates using generic operating parameters. The spoke radio device may acquire the generic operating parameters from a beacon broadcast by the hub radio device. If a link between a hub radio device and a spoke radio device cannot be satisfactorily established and maintained using the specific and generic operating parameters, respectively, then the hub radio device may use alternative channels and/or reduce its operational area to attempt to converge specific and generic transmit power levels for improved link establishment. | 10-01-2015 |
