US RE42697 E1
establishing an agreement or relationship with a second wireless service provider operating within the given geographic region, wherein, under the agreement or relationship, the second wireless service provider agrees that, under pre-determined conditions, it will transfer to the first wireless service provider a right to use radio spectrum licensed to the second wireless service provider to provide service to the user of the first wireless service provider;
accepting, from the second wireless service provider, the transfer of the right to use radio spectrum allocated to the second wireless service provider;
using a portion of the radio spectrum licensed to the second wireless service provider to provide the service requested by the user after accepting, from the second wireless service provider, the transfer of the right to use the radio spectrum portion.
26. The method of claim 25, further comprising the step of determining whether the requested service can be provided to the user using radio spectrum licensed to the first wireless service provider prior to accepting, from the second wireless service provider, the transfer of the right to use radio spectrum allocated to the second wireless service provider.
35. The method of claim 34, further comprising the step of determining whether the requested service can be provided to the customer using radio spectrum allocated to the first wireless service provider prior to using radio spectrum allocated to the second wireless service provider.
(A) establishing a business arrangement between the first wireless network, operating within the PCS band of frequencies, and one or more of the other wireless networks participating in the market under which the right to use licensed radio spectrum may be transferred from one wireless network to another wireless network participating in the business arrangement;
(C) receiving a request for service from a user's wireless access device; and
(D) providing the requested service by using (i) the portion of the radio spectrum licensed to the first wireless network the right of which was transferred to the second wireless network in step (B)(i), or (ii) the portion of the radio spectrum licensed to the second wireless network the right of which was transferred to the first wireless network in step (B)(ii), after accepting the transfer of the right to use the radio spectrum portion.
45. The method as defined by claim 44 wherein the first wireless network and at least some of the other wireless networks participating in the market employ a portion of the corresponding licensed radio spectrum for network control, and wherein the steps of transferring radio spectrum to another wireless network and accepting the transfer of radio spectrum are restricted to licensed radio spectrum that is not used for network control.
