Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: receiving, in a first white space device, information relating to allowed emission levels in a white space radio system; receiving by the first white space device, information relating to emission characteristics of at least one slave white space device, received from the slave white space device; computing by the first white space device, one or more allowed operating parameters for the at least one slave white space device, based on the received information relating to allowed emission levels and the received emission characteristics, the one or more allowed operating parameters representing a fractional portion of the allowed emission levels; transmitting at least one of the allowed operating parameters to the slave white space device; receiving, by the first white space device, from the at least one slave white space device, a request for modified operating parameters based on new information relating to new emission characteristics of the at least one slave white space device, the requested modified operating parameters representing emission levels having a greater power and/or less bandwidth, of which the slave white space device is capable, than that represented by the one or more allowed operating parameters; computing by the first white space device, one or more modified allowed operating parameters for the at least one slave white space device, based on the received information relating to allowed emission levels and the new information relating to the new emission characteristics of the at least one slave white space device, the modified allowed operating parameters representing emission levels having a greater power and/or less bandwidth, of which the slave white space device is capable, than that represented by the one or more allowed operating parameters; and transmitting at least one of the modified allowed operating parameters to the at least one slave white space device.
