Abstract:
Systems and methods for utilizing secondary frequency spectrums for increased throughput. When faced with a shortage of primary cellular frequencies, a base station in a cellular network can determine whether secondary frequency spectrum, such as 600 MHz spectrum, frequencies are available. The 600 MHz frequencies can include frequencies licensed to the provider and frequencies licensed to other providers that can nonetheless be used under FCC “Whitespace” rules. Thus, the system can determine whether licensed (“Tier(2)”) or unlicensed (“Tier(3”) 600 MHz frequencies are available. Tier(2) frequencies can essentially be used in the normal manner—e.g., at normal power levels and emissions patterns. Tier(3) frequencies can be used under the Whitespace rules. The system can then provide these 600 MHz frequencies to capable user equipment (UE). The system can also prioritize frequencies based on UE capabilities, location, and other factors.

Claim (Index 14):
A base station comprising:\n one or more transceivers to send and receive one or more wireless transmissions; memory storing at least a frequency database; and one or more processors in communication with at least the one or more transceivers and the memory, the memory including computer executable instructions to cause the one or more processors to:\n receive, with the one or more transceivers, a request to connect to the base station from a user equipment (UE); \n determine, with the one or more processors, that a primary frequency pair is not available; \n determine, with the one or more processors, that the UE is within a predetermined distance of the base station; \n determine, with the one or more processors, that at least one secondary frequency pair stored in the frequency database is available; and \n send, with the one or more transceivers and responsive to determining that the UE is within the predetermined distance, a first message to the UE inquiring whether the UE is capable of communicating in a secondary frequency spectrum.
