Abstract

A computing device of a telecommunication network can receive crowd-sourced Wi-Fi reports submitted by user equipment based on scans for beacon signals broadcast by Wi-Fi access points. From the crowd-sourced Wi-Fi reports, the computing device can determine when Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) transmissions over channels of an unlicensed spectrum are safe and are not expected to interfere with Wi-Fi transmissions.
