Claim 17:
18. A first user equipment comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) transmitter;
a processor; and
instructions for a user equipment manager application that are executable by the processor to configure the first user equipment to:
transmit a request to a base station for a Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) spectrum grant for peer-to-peer CBRS communication between the first user equipment and a second user equipment, the request including a geographic location of the first user equipment or a desired geofenced area for the peer-to-peer CBRS communication;
receive a configuration for peer-to-peer CBRS communication with the second user equipment, the configuration including a geofence that defines a geographic region for the peer-to-peer CBRS communication;
establish a peer-to-peer CBRS communication link with the second user equipment;
determine the geographic location of the first user equipment; and
using the determined geographic location of the first user equipment:
if the determined geographic location of the first user equipment is inside the geofence, continue peer-to-peer CBRS communication with the second user equipment; and/or
if the determined geographic location of the first user equipment is outside the geofence, discontinue peer-to-peer CBRS communication with the second user equipment.
