Patent ID: 7965641

Claim:
A system, comprising: a first device, comprising: a first sensing component configured to generate first sensed information related to occupation of a spectral band; and a first reporting component which is communicatively coupled to the first sensing component and configured to report the first sensed information; and a second device, comprising: a second sensing component configured to generate second sensed information related to occupation of the spectral band; a second reporting component which is communicatively coupled to the second sensing component and configured to encode the first sensed information and the second sensed information, yielding encoded information, based on a rotational matrix for use, at least in part, in algebraic coding, and to report the encoded information representing the first sensed information and the second sensed information; and a determination component configured to determine whether the spectral band can be occupied, based at least in part on decoding and analyzing the encoded information reported by the second reporting component.
