  • Method and system for dynamic spectrum access using specialty detectors and improved networking
    Patent number: 8818283
    Abstract: Methods and systems for dynamic spectrum access (DSA) in a wireless network are provided. A DSA-enabled device may sense spectrum use in a region and, based on the detected spectrum use, select one or more communication channels for use. The devices also may detect one or more other DSA-enabled devices with which they can form DSA networks. A DSA network may monitor spectrum use by cooperative and non-cooperative devices, to dynamically select one or more channels to use for communication while avoiding or reducing interference with other devices.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 19, 2009
    Date of Patent: August 26, 2014
    Assignee: Shared Spectrum Company
