Claim Text:
1. A system for managing a communication resource in a heterogeneous network comprising a primary system and a plurality of secondary systems, the system comprising: circuitry configured to: determine, respectively, priorities of a first secondary system and a second secondary system of the plurality of secondary systems for using the communication resource based on an efficiency of resource multiplexing between a managed region of the system and one of first or second secondary systems, wherein the communication resource is for the managed region and the efficiency of resource multiplexing is estimated based on an interference between the managed region and the one of the first or second secondary systems, the interference and the efficiency being inversely proportioned; and allocate the communication resource to the first secondary system prior to the second secondary system, which is of priority lower than the first secondary system, in response to requests of the communication resource from the first and second secondary systems.
