Patent ID: 11102657

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for deploying Base Stations/Access Points (BS/APs) in an enterprise wireless communications network. The method is useful to deploy BS/APs in a managed radio communication environment to mitigate and prevent interference between competing transmitters in the area. The BS/APs may comprise Citizens Broadband radio Service Devices (CBSDs) deployed in 4G and 5G enterprise communications networks operating under FCC rules relating to Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS). Spectrum may be managed by a Spectrum Management Entity (SME). In order to pre-register BS/APs prior to deployment, location coordinates corresponding to an enterprise address may be used. A domain proxy (DP) may request registration, obtain a spectrum grant, and maintain the grant. After installation of the BS/APs, the spectrum grant is used to make Radio Environment Monitoring (REM) measurements and determine an RF environment, which is then used to mitigate interference in the enterprise network by assigning optimized channels to each BS/AP for operation.
