Abstract

A method, wireless controller, and information processing system are provided to dynamically allocate spectrum sensing resources. A first input (804) including available sensing session time for performing spectrum sensing with respect to one or more primary systems (102) is received. A second input (806) including a set of communication channels to be monitored in the spectrum sensing session is received. A third input (808) including detection constraints associated with a plurality of available sensing nodes (114) in a secondary network (104) for performing the spectrum sensing is received. Spectrum sensing resources are dynamically allocated (814) among a set of the plurality of available sensing nodes (114) based on the first (804), second (806), and third inputs (808).
