Abstract
Methods, systems and apparatus for allocating frequency spectrum resources in a Citizens Broadband Radio Service network. An exemplary method embodiment includes the steps of: receiving, by a Spectrum Access System (SAS), a channel message from a Citizens Broadband Radio Service Device (CBSD); selecting, by the SAS, in response to the received channel allocation message, a first frequency spectrum channel from a plurality of available frequency spectrum channels based on a type of traffic the CBSD is carrying; assigning, by the SAS, the selected first frequency spectrum channel to the CBSD for use in wireless communications with user equipment devices; communicating, by the SAS, information identifying the assigned first frequency spectrum channel to the CBSD. When the determined type of traffic being carried by the CBSD is said uplink dominated traffic basing said first frequency spectrum channel selection on adjacent channel interference.
