Abstract: Techniques for dynamically determining coverage area and data throughput in a heterogeneous network are discussed herein. In some examples, a base station can use frequency resources from a Citizens Broadband Radio Service band provided that such use does not cause harmful interference for incumbent users. For example, to avoid interfering with an incumbent device while maintaining transmission, an algorithm may be deployed to dynamically determine data throughput for the base station and connected user equipment based on interference level and traffic type. The base station can receive interference information with uplink feedback from the user equipment. Interference information can also be used to configure the base station to dynamically adjust its data coverage area, for example, by varying a transmission power. As the conditions at a base station change over time (e.g., hourly, daily, weekly, etc.), data coverage area can be reconfigured at the base station.
