Patent ID: 8538452

Claim:
An apparatus for supporting cognitive radio access by communication mode guide data in a mobile terminal supporting a multi communication mode, the apparatus comprising: a communication mode guide data server that receives a communication mode guide data request from the mobile terminal supporting the multi communication mode, extracts communication mode guide data for a region within a predetermined radius from a current location or an expected movable region of the mobile terminal and supported by a mobile terminal model, and transmits the extracted communication mode guide data, wherein the communication mode guide data includes a location coordinate field having latitude and longitude for every location within the regions, and a list of one or more available communication mode fields at a corresponding location including a communication mode and the number of times of failure for each location of the regions, wherein when the number of times of failure of a specific communication mode exceeds a predefined tolerable number of failure, the communication mode guide data server changes a location of the specific communication mode to another location on the list of communication mode fields, and lowers a priority order of the specific communication mode, in the communication mode guide data.
