Systems and methods for reuse of spectrum resources

Abstract:

A method includes obtaining a plurality of conflict lists including a conflict list for each communication device. The method also includes obtaining resource requirement values. A resource requirement value indicates a number of orthogonal channels that are required to satisfy demand associated with a communication device. The method includes determining that two or more communication devices are associated with a particular resource requirement value. The method also includes selecting a particular communication device by using the conflict lists to perform a maximum independent set analysis based on the two or more communication devices. The method further includes assigning a set of orthogonal channels to the particular communication device. The set of orthogonal channels include a number of orthogonal channels that is based on the particular resource requirement value. The method also includes configuring a communication system to communicate with the particular communication device based on the set of orthogonal channels.
