Abstract
A system and method are provided to facilitate signaling between base stations controlled by alternate spectrum holders (ASH's) and individual multi-mode devices (MMD's) operating in communication with those base stations to indicate an ability to a global spectrum marketplace of an ability of the base stations and/or the individual MMD's to support communication in both International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT) and non-IMT bands is support of a dynamic spectrum allocation scheme. The disclosed systems and methods may be based on a modification of the 3rd Generation Partnership Protocol (3GPP®) Long Term Evolution (LTE®) standard so that non-IMT licensed spectrum can be included in LTE® or LTE-Advanced® multi-band carrier aggregation.
