  • Patent number: 11272375
    Abstract: A dynamic physical resource block control apparatus dynamically controls allocation of a physical resource block and includes: a dynamic spectrum arbitrage controller in communication with LTE wireless channels and a secondary user, the dynamic spectrum arbitrage controller: produces a status request to the LTE wireless channels, receives channel status response from the LTE wireless channels in response to the channel status request; receives a PRB allocation request from the secondary user; and produces a PRB map in response to the PRB allocation request; and LTE wireless channels in communication with a primary user and the secondary user and that: communicates a PRB map to the primary user; receives primary user data from the primary user; receives secondary user data from the secondary user.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10390364
    Abstract: A process for dynamically controlling spectrum access includes: collecting occupancy data; applying nonparametric estimation to the occupancy data; determining a cumulative hazard function; receiving a service request to occupy the wireless communication channel from a secondary user; accepting the service request from the secondary user if the wireless communication channel is unoccupied by the primary user; calculating a maximum duration for which the secondary user may occupy the wireless communication channel; determining a probability that a remaining idle time of the primary user is greater than an occupation time of the wireless communication channel of the secondary user; granting access to the secondary user for occupation of the wireless communication channel if the probability is greater than a selected probability threshold; and denying access to the secondary user for occupation of the wireless communication channel if the probability is less than the selected probability threshold to dynamically
