  • Autonomous dynamic spectrum access
    Patent number: 8155127
    Abstract: Communicating between a plurality of nodes includes: at one or more of the plurality of nodes, sensing spectrum activity on at least one channel; creating and maintaining at least one spectrum awareness table based at least in part on the sensed spectrum activity, determining at least one selected bearer based on the at least one spectrum awareness table; performing an adaptive control channel initialization operation to detect zero or more neighbor nodes.
    Type: Grant
