Abstract
A platform to facilitate transferring spectrum rights is provided that includes a database to ascertain information regarding available spectrum for use in wireless communications. The proposed apparatus and non-transitory machine-accessible medium defines the transactions required for release of the “rented” spectrum by clients which are using the spectrum when demanded by a primary spectrum holder to provide functionality for flexible and optimal use of spectrum on client devices. The apparatus and non-transitory machine-accessible medium coordinates scanning for available broadcast, multicast, and/or conditional access platforms, networks, and/or services, as well as maintaining connection with CSS network elements to enable flexible and optimal use of the spectrum and manages the resources among multiple radios and applications on the platform.
