Abstract
Method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments are disclosed to provide for wireless resource sharing on a fair basis between heterogeneous wireless networks to enable coexistence in a TV band white space. An example embodiment of the invention includes a method, comprising the steps of: receiving a coexistence value associated with a wireless network; receiving radio frequency spectral environment information of the wireless network; receiving coexistence values and radio frequency spectral environment information of wireless networks neighboring the wireless network; receiving a resource request for the wireless network; generating a resource allocation based at least on the received coexistence values and received radio frequency spectral environment information; and communicating at least a portion of the generated resource allocation to the wireless network. The resulting embodiments provide for wireless resource sharing on a fair basis between heterogeneous wireless networks to enable coexistence of secondary networks.
