Patent ID: 8060104

Claim:
A method of dynamic RF spectrum allocation to at least one RF transmitter, comprising: receiving a message from a first communication system requesting available RF spectrum over which to transmit RF signals, the message indicating a geographic location of a first non-incumbent transmitter associated with the first communication system; for the RF spectrum, determining a maximum power level at which the first non-incumbent transmitter may transmit without exceeding a threshold level of interference at least one focal point; communicating to the first communication system a RF spectrum list identifying at least the RF spectrum and the determined maximum power level; and identifying at least a second non-incumbent transmitter already authorized to transmit over the RF spectrum; wherein determining the maximum power level at which the first non-incumbent transmitter may transmit without exceeding the threshold level of interference at the at least one focal point comprises: determining an amount of interference at the at least one focal point due to RF signals transmitted by at least the second non-incumbent transmitter.
