Abstract

A method for dynamically managing spectrum access and supporting multiple tiers of users is provided. A spectrum access server receives a request from a device to access a segment of spectrum, and determines which tier of the multiple tiers is associated with the request. If the request is from a second tier user and the request does not interfere with first tier users, the request is granted. If the request is from a third tier user and the request does not interfere with first tier users and authorized second tier users, the request is granted.
