Abstract
A device obtains permission to use a Radio Frequency (RF) resource to transmit/receive data. The device comprises a transceiver and a processor that: controls the transceiver to communicate with a RF resource allocation system over the RF resource to determine whether the device can use the RF resource; while the transceiver communicates with the RF resource allocation system, repeatedly determines whether a cumulative use of the RF resource satisfies a condition until the processor determines that the cumulative use satisfies the condition or the device is permitted to use the RF resource; upon the processor determining that the cumulative use satisfies the condition, control the transceiver to not communicate with the RF resource allocation system over the RF resource for a period of time; and upon determining that the device is permitted to use the RF resource, controls the device to use the RF resource to transmit/receive the data.
