  • White space utilization
    Patent number: 9674839
    Abstract: The concepts relate to radio white space utilization. One example can measure a potential radio white space frequency. The example can also communicate results of the measuring for other devices and receive other results from the other devices relating to the potential radio white space frequency. The method can further determine whether the potential radio white space frequency is actually an available radio white space frequency based upon the results and the other results.
    Type: Grant

  • White space utilization
    Patent number: 9544777
    Abstract: The concepts relate to broadcasting white space utilization. One example can interact with a wireless device that is configured to obtain authorization to use a set of radio white space frequencies in accordance with one or more constraints. The example can obtain an individual radio white space frequency and associated individual constraints. This example can also utilize the individual radio white space frequency for network access independent from the wireless device that is configured to obtain the authorization.

  • White space utilization
    Patent number: 9288681
    Abstract: The concepts relate to broadcasting white space utilization. One example can function as a client relative to a wireless access point that is configured to obtain authorization to utilize a radio white space frequency according to a set of constraints. The example can function as a Wi-Fi direct group owner to establish a Wi-Fi connection with a device that is not the wireless access point. This example can also transmit data over the radio white space frequency to the device in compliance with the set of constraints.
