Abstract

A spectrum use assessment server receives spectrum use data from each of plural electronic devices. The spectrum use data from each electronic device includes at least location of the electronic device and operating channel of the electronic device. The server determines a spectrum use coverage area of each electronic device and identifies an overlap in the coverage areas in which two or more of the electronic devices engage in competing spectrum use.
