  • the information regarding available spectrum services provided by the primary spectrum service holder 107 is accordingly stored in the CSS database 111 .
  • the alternate spectrum service holder 109 or the UE 101 provides the CSS management platform 103 via an interface with one or more spectrum sharing requests regarding spectrum renting. For example, if the alternate spectrum service holder 109 or the UE 101 determines that additional spectrum services are needed beyond those currently available to the alternate spectrum service holder 109 or the UE 101 or estimated as being available in the future to the alternate spectrum service holder 109 or the UE 101 , the alternate spectrum service holder 109 or the UE 101 makes a request for spectrum sharing that is sent to the CSS management platform 103 so that a need for current or future spectrum services may be satisfied.
  • the request for spectrum sharing may specify various service criteria or details regarding the request such as, but not limited to, one or more of a period of time during which the requested spectrum sharing is to occur, a price offering range for the requested spectrum sharing, a frequency range within which the requested spectrum sharing is allowed to occur, a performance requirement associated with the source of the request for spectrum sharing, and a spectrum service holder with which the requested spectrum sharing is allowed to occur.
  • the primary spectrum service holder 107 may indicate various spectrum sharing criteria to CSS management platform 103 regarding renting conditions including, but not limited to, an asking price for sharing an available spectrum service, a performance data of the available spectrum service, a frequency range of the available spectrum service, and a spectrum sharing requestor with which the available spectrum service is allowed to be shared.
  • the CSS management platform 103 Based on a receipt of a request for spectrum service sharing, the CSS management platform 103 obtains information stored in the CSS database 111 , and analyzes the alternate spectrum service holder 109 's or the UE 101 's requests for spectrum sharing, and may also consider any regulatory rules that are provided by the spectrum service allocation regulator 113 to cause an allocation of one or more available spectrum services to the alternate spectrum service holder 109 or the UE 101 .
  • the CSS management platform 103 may compare the various spectrum sharing criteria set by the primary spectrum service holder 107 with the service criteria provided by the alternate spectrum service holder 109 or the UE 101 . Based on this comparison, the CSS management platform 103 may determine whether a particular available spectrum service should be shared with the requesting alternate spectrum service holder 109 or the UE 101 . The determination to share the available spectrum service may be based, for example, on a matching between the spectrum sharing criteria stored in the CSS database 111 and the service criteria provided by the alternate spectrum service holder 109 or the UE 101 . The matching may be based on an optimization routine associated with pairing the various spectrum sharing criteria and the various service criteria, for example. Then, based on the matching, a decision to share an available spectrum service stored in the CSS database 111 may be made and the available spectrum service may be allocated to the alternate spectrum service holder 109 or the UE 101 .
  • the CSS management platform 103 causes a decision to share available spectrum services to be made in accordance with that particular combination of spectrum sharing criteria. Or, for example, if a primary spectrum service holder 107 will only rent or share its available spectrum services for a particular minimum price, the CSS management platform 103 will only match an alternate spectrum service holder 109 or UE 101 that has a price offering that meets the asking price provided in the spectrum sharing criteria. According to various embodiments, the CSS management platform 103 may be configured to maximize the revenue produced by sharing available spectrum services.
  • the CSS management platform 103 will allocate the available spectrum services to the highest bidder (assuming multiple bidding alternate spectrum service holders 109 or UE 101 's, for example) and/or, if there is only one bidding entity, will allocate the available spectrum service at the maximum of the offered range, rather than at the asking price which may be lower than the offered range.
  • the various spectrum sharing criteria and/or the service criteria may be weighted such that certain criteria is more important than other criteria, so that the decision to share spectrum services may be based on a weighted matching. For instance, if a spectrum sharing criteria is set to be limited to a particular time has a weighting of “X”, but a price point for spectrum sharing is set as “Y” which is more heavily weighted than X, and a particular price point offered by the alternate spectrum service holder 109 or the UE 101 causes the timing limit to be overridden, the CSS management platform 103 may cause a decision to share the available spectrum service based on the price offering even though the primary spectrum service holder 107 would normally not allow spectrum sharing during the time at which the request for sharing spectrum services is made or the time at which the spectrum sharing is to occur. In other words, if a primary spectrum service holder 107 does not want to share spectrum services with a competitor such as alternate spectrum service holder 109 or UE 101 during peak hours, the primary spectrum service holder 107 may do
  • any type of data or criteria, combination, or weighting scheme for spectrum sharing and/or service criteria may be provided to the CSS management platform 103 for consideration when making a determination to share available spectrum services and when allocating available spectrum services to an alternate spectrum service holder 107 and/or a UE 101 .
  • the CSS management platform 103 may consider any regulatory rules provided by the spectrum service allocation regulator 113 when determining to share the available spectrum service with the requesting alternate spectrum service holder 109 or the UE 101 .
  • any regulatory rules that govern allocation of spectrum services by way of rental, borrowing, sharing, etc. may be considered when the CSS management platform 103 optimizes the matching of spectrum sharing criteria and service criteria, or the CSS management platform 103 may apply the regulatory rules after a determination to share the available spectrum services is made and the regulatory rules are applied to approve or disapprove of the decision to share the available spectrum services and/or the allocation of the available spectrum services to the alternate spectrum service holder 109 or the UE 101 .
  • the CSS management platform 103 updates the CSS database 111 regarding the allocation of the available spectrum services to the alternate spectrum service holder 109 or the UE 101 .
