Claim Text:
1. A method to reduce spectral allocation conflicts in wireless networks, the method comprising: tracking, by a processor, for a first mobile device with a first spectral allocation, other nearby mobile devices whose spectral intersection with the first mobile device is above a predefined threshold, wherein the redefined threshold is based on a power and complexity of an error-correcting code employed by the first mobile device; identifying, by the processor, a second mobile device with a second spectral allocation from the other nearby mobile devices, wherein there is an intersection between the first spectral allocation and the second spectral allocation; determining, by the processor, one or more time-frequency vectors of the first spectral allocation of the first mobile device with a first overlap with one or more time-frequency vectors of the second spectral allocation of the second mobile device by determining a distance between the time-frequency vectors of the first mobile device and the time-frequency vectors of the second mobile device; and for each determined time-frequency vectors of the first spectral allocation with the first overlap, determining, by the processor, an alternate time-frequency vector such that a second overlap between the alternate time-frequency vector and the one or more time-frequency vectors of the second spectral allocation is lower than the first overlap.
