Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatuses are directed to coordination of spectrum usage rights among entities. In one embodiment, logic may be configured to receive, from a first entity, spectrum information relating to a first frequency range available for allocation, and store the spectrum information in a database. The logic may also be configured to receive a request for allocation of at least one frequency range to a second entity, and query the database for at least one frequency range available for allocation to the second entity based on the allocation request. The logic may further be configured to determine that the first frequency range is available to satisfy the allocation request based on the query and the storage of the spectrum information, and allocate the first frequency range to the second entity based on the determination that the first frequency range is available to satisfy the allocation request.
