Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 6:
7. A base station (BS) comprising:
a processor; and
a transceiver operably coupled to the processor, the transceiver configured to:
transmit configuration information for measuring interference from a neighboring BS,
receive a measurement report from a user equipment (UE),
transmit, via the transceiver, a spectrum coordination request to a spectrum sharing management function (SSMF), and receive a spectrum coordination response from the SSMF, wherein the spectrum coordination response is transmitted to the BS in response to a decision by the SSMF based on a response, received from the neighboring BS, to a request for assistance information for spectrum coordination, wherein the measurement report is transmitted to the BS from the UE based at least in part on a change in the interference measured from the neighboring BS between a current interference level of the neighboring BS and a previous interference level of the neighboring BS exceeding a first threshold, and wherein the first threshold is an adaptive threshold based on a measured signal quality of a serving BS of the UE.
