COMMUNICATION USING DYNAMIC SPECTRUM ACCESS BASED ON CHANNEL SELECTION

Abstract:

The disclosure described herein configures a client device for communication using dynamic spectrum access within a frequency spectrum, such as television white space (TVWS), using a determined location of the client device based on location information, such as from a global positioning system. A dynamic spectrum access database of channels is accessed based on the location information. Available channels are determined for the client device from the channels based on the location information. A list of the available channels for use by the client device are transmitted to the client device, thereby allowing narrowband communication over the channels.
