Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products herein enable a mobile terminal with a cognitive radio to determine at least one white space spectrum database to access based on a current location and once the at least one white space spectrum database is accessed to determine the relevant communication protocols. One example method may include accessing one or more white space database identifiers. In some example embodiments, the white space database identifiers correspond to a white space database assigned to a region. The method may further include determining whether the one or more database identifiers match a database identifier associated with a schema In some example embodiments, the schema defines one or more parameters for exchanging information with a white space spectrum database. The method may further include selecting the schema that is associated with the matched database identifier.
