Dynamic Spectrum Leasing for Public–Private Interference Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing spectrum leasing systems fail to manage interference between spectrum usage on public and private networks, especially in large-footprint networks, and do not provide flexible leasing options to meet diverse customer requirements.
Innovation Solution
A spectrum leasing system that evaluates interference constraints, public and private bandwidth availability, and customer requirements, offering flexible leasing options through a combination of hardware and software components that analyze network provider spectrum portfolios, customer locations, and market variables to identify and select available spectral bands, generate pricing, and manage lease contracts.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If spectrum leasing is implemented without interference management, then spectrum utilization increases, but interference between public and private networks worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a spectrum leasing system as an intermediary platform that manages spectrum allocation between public and private networks. This system evaluates interference constraints and coordinates spectrum usage, allowing both public and private networks to utilize the same spectrum resources while preventing harmful interference through centralized management and real-time monitoring.
2Reliability
If rigid spectrum allocation is used, then interference is minimized, but flexibility to meet diverse customer requirements decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic spectrum allocation where the system continuously evaluates interference constraints, network conditions, and customer requirements to adjust spectrum leasing decisions in real-time. This dynamic approach allows the system to maintain reliable interference control while adapting to diverse customer needs, varying network conditions, and changing spectrum availability.
3Reliability
If spectrum leasing system evaluates multiple constraints, then QOS is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs a multi-functional spectrum leasing system that integrates multiple evaluation capabilities (interference constraint assessment, bandwidth availability analysis, customer requirement matching, pricing optimization) into a single unified platform. This universal system handles diverse constraints and functions through integrated algorithms and data structures, improving QOS while managing complexity through consolidation rather than separate specialized systems.

AI summary
The present disclosure is directed to methods and systems for spectrum leasing. The spectrum leasing system performs a set of functions to provide potential leasing customers with flexible leasing options. The spectrum leasing system can utilize inputs such as: customer problems, size and type of customer premises, list of customer location(s), requested spectrum bands, requested network capability at a customer location, and geographic information system (GIS) information about the customer premises, nearby buildings, and venues The spectrum leasing system can use the input information to identify and select leasing and monetization opportunities for customers. In some implementations, the spectrum leasing system analyzes a network provider spectrum portfolio, proximity of existing and planned public network cell sites, and a set of pre-established business rules for spectrum leasing to identify spectrum bands available for leasing and determine pricing of the lease.
