It has a higher priority according to counter any emergency or disaster situations establish an effective communication. In large-scale emergencies or disasters (natural and human disaster) situations, it is more important than ever to maintain communication between all first responders and emergency personnel to respond effectively, manage, and control the emergency. In the absence of the first responders and emergency personnel effective communication between the other, it can not be effectively mobilize resources to the area that most needs the resources. The non-critical emergency situations (for example, traffic accidents and fires) Even, first responders are those requiring support assets (support asset) and other services (for example, public facilities, hospitals, etc.) and be able to cooperate. do. Wireless devices to the ubiquity of ownership and use, emergency communications via a wireless device using a commercial cellular network is often the most effective emergency response to mobilize manpower and resources are effective means. Radio frequency between the wireless devices are not the first response agencies variety that make it possible to provide an effective emergency communication (e.g., police, fire, ambulance, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), public facilities, and so on) (RF) to It eliminates the technical challenge and the cost of adjustment. In addition, off-duty, or can routinely in party qualified first responders, which for the accident is not equipped with a wireless communication device (eg, doctors, nurses, retired police or military personnel) This has a wireless device or rent faster .

Emergency communication via the cellular communication network is, however, not without their problems. As discussed above in the background art, a cellular communication network the ( "Mandelieu") is designed to accept an access request from only a portion of the total number of wireless devices in a particular cell in an emergency or crisis, the network resources in the situation there predictable human response may suffer abuse when large numbers of wireless device users within particular cells to be simultaneously access the network. the wireless device users or to inform the emergency personnel for such emergency situations (such as 911 emergency calls) the user can try to notify the though friends or family members are safe within the emergency area. some users may be sent to or friends of the video to news services of emergency (fire, accident, etc.) spacious in the situation, will first response using the wireless device to the first communication party will increase the call capacity. Nevertheless, the increased predictive of the calling amount during emergencies, particularly surrounding the emergency is in the cell area, commercial cellular It can overwhelm the network, and therefore can not be trusted to make the communication network in the use of emergency response personnel.

To illustrate this problem, consider the case of a traffic accident occurs on the highway. 1 illustrates a cellular network under normal conditions. As illustrated, it is wirelessly connected to a cellular communication network via a plurality of wireless devices (101a to 101g) to a base station serving a particular cell 100 (102). Be connected to the base station 102 is a base station controller (BSC) / radio network controller (RNC, 103), a mobile switching center (MSC, 104) through. To the MSC (104) includes both a public switched telephone network (PSTN) interface, and Internet interface. A plurality of wireless devices (101a to 101g) of the call made to any device and from which they can be routed through a conventional general telephone over the Internet 106 using a PSTN (105), or VOIP. Of a conventional general telephone office and the wireless devices (101a to 101g) is any call between one or may be routed through the PSTN or Internet. Wireless devices (101a to 101g) between the calls are initiated to or intended wireless devices (101a to 101g) near a position similar MSC (104), BSC / RNC (103), and the base station 102 to the PSTN or the Internet, It may be routed over.

1 illustrates a typical situation in which a part of a wireless device within a cell access the network at the same time. For example, Figure 1 shows a wireless device in the seven distinct locations within the cell (101a to 101g), only three of these dogs (101c, 101d, and 101e) and the current access network. Accordingly, the network is working well within the operating parameter is admitted that any request for a network from the wireless devices (101a to 101g). The turn-on all the wireless device is not in use but (101a to 101g) is still noted that the communication with the base station 102 via link management channels (not shown). This network is used to keep track of the communication for the wireless devices (101a to 101g) within each cell to support call routing. However, any wireless device with such a tracking objectives (101a to 101g) and the base station 102, write down the amount of information that is passed between (in particular bandwidth and in contrast required for a normal telephone call), the on or inactive wireless devices in the cell usually the number of 101, will not overwhelm the network.

The normal function of the cellular network, for example, there accidents can be prevented to stop the vehicle, it delayed the driver in this case will notify emergency personnel about using their wireless devices while traffic accidents (emergency 911 calls) or friends, Contact's family members, like my colleagues to inform them about the delay. Figure 2 illustrates a cellular network in such emergency situations. In this example, base station 102 has a truck 107 is near the fire. Predictably, the truck 107, the fire will most wireless devices (101a to 101g) is near the user's access to a cellular network at the same time the approximate. This results in an overload condition in the cell by more than the bandwidth of the carriers on the local base station 102. As a result, would not receive approval from the wireless devices access to a few (101b and 101f) the network, the new network access request may be refused until a communication channel becomes available. This communication bottleneck may be delaying the response by emergency personnel and emergency situations worse by denying them first responders with an effective communication on the network.

This problem is exacerbated when the number of victims and the disaster involving vast areas, such as forest fires, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes and terrorist attacks. As demonstrated during the attack and Hurricane Katrina 911, a network in a large disaster is left to destroy the cellular and general telephone network infrastructure may be more vulnerable to overload. There disaster during the accident a network overload can be particularly troublesome, because these situations may involve a broad range of essentially confusion may require close coordination among a large number of emergency and rescue personnel.

Added to one area by the case of a disaster situation continues long enough (e.g., flood or hurricane conditions), the additional cellular communication capacity is activated, the cellular communication system can effectively used to provide connectivity to the emergency response teams, and human It can be. Referred to herein as a "switch-on wheels (switch on wheels)", these recently efficiently available devices were developed to have CDMA2000 base station and the switch, the land mobile radio (LMR) interoperable equipment, remote cross to the Internet and the PSTN fixed satellite service for satellite connection (FSS), and optionally, may include a power source or remote, such as gasoline or diesel driven generators. An exemplary efficient use more complete description of the possible switch-on wheel is provided in U.S. Patent Application (12/249 143 No.) filed October 10, 2008, the entire contents of the above application is incorporated by herein by reference .

These are the effective switch-on wheel mobile cellular base station that can operate as a cellular tower and the antenna can be placed in the disaster area. The wheels are switched on to send a communication signal to a plurality of wireless devices 101, and receives therefrom, the portal acts as a gateway to the rest of the conventional communication infrastructure. Communication between the switch-on wheels and the wireless device 101 is decomposed into packets for transmission as a VOIP communication, it can be transmitted via a satellite to a ground station of a disaster area outside, through a call to the telephone network from the disaster area recipient It is forwarded to. Has the additional bandwidth provided by the possible switch-on wheels also used efficiently, the network is overloaded can still cause a communication delay, and can cause frustration for emergency response personnel.

To overcome these problems at the national emergency incident, WPA systems have been developed. Conventional WPA system provides a preemption of access to the cellular network to the selected emergency leadership. However, conventional systems do not allow the WPA composed of the call for the wireless device of the registered WPA authorities. In other words, any contrast (provision) to, but can be given priority access to to a wireless device registered with the WPA service to apply for calls on the network, such that, the same wireless devices are enabled to receive calls even WPA It does not exist in the system. Incoming calls to wireless devices in the command center may just as important as the outgoing call. In addition, when it is necessary to the conventional systems WPA authorized user calls, the call will be made from their pre-registered wireless devices. However, the authorized personnel may be present for example, not having the wireless device in their pre-registration. Alternatively, the wireless device may be damaged. Authorized personnel are ready to be done in order to make it possible to access the jammed overload the network. In addition, emergency personnel have not previously registered on their wireless device on WPA systems can not "instant" access to the jammed overloaded cellular network. In many cases, off-duty, Jr., volunteer emergency response personnel at the accident site first response may characters. these resources can not qualify for a conventional WPA that is designed to address the need for leadership. Therefore, personnel to mitigate fast the situation in consideration of the proximity in the field prior to the conventional WPA It can be registered and authorized.

To overcome the limitations in the conventional cellular communication network and a conventional WPA, various embodiments to provide TPA performance, the first quality of service to the second responders (QoS) / service for originating and terminated calls in a mobile handset It passes the rating (GOS) wireless communication devices. In particular, the various embodiments samneunda the needs of the first to the first responders in the first incident to the target.

As the name implies the TPA TPA aims to provide a layer corresponding to the network capacity requirements. The corresponding hierarchy reflects the typical requirements of communication at the scene of an accident because responders were more help to solve the problem (s) at hand. First responders when an accident occurs, or they begin to respond to the scene of an accident. First responders in the initial report on the accident may be increased by a small number arrived at the scene corresponds to the scale and seriousness of the accident.

To accommodate this predictable response, TPA is based on call volume according to the situation is restored to normal As a possible escalation process and step down as starting on the first arriving responders are on-site.

To overview, the various embodiments operates as follows. During normal operation, the amount of monitoring cellular calls through the particular base station, it is determined whether the network reaches its capacity limit. Call amount can be monitored on the basis of the attempt, other methods known to the bandwidth on a call, or the cellular service provider for access to the current call, network. The amount of calls from the base station 102, in the BSC / RNC (103) or MSC (104) to the local system, or in one embodiment, the central system may for example be monitored in the network operation center (NOC). This monitoring There the cellular level, because the normal emergency cycle are the most affected in one operation despite the similar manner in the case of a wide range of emergency or TPA two cell zones. When the amount of calls within the cell exceeds a pre-selected threshold value by the service provider and / or emergency response planners, the system allocates a single channel in a mobile phone base station affected in TPA operations.

Figure 2 shows the situation a call exceeds a threshold amount, the threshold value indicates that the TPA has to be implemented. 2, the more wireless devices 101 within the cell supported by the base station (102) than the network can access the network is attempting to access. As a result, while only a portion of a wireless device (101a, 101c, 101d, 101e and 101g) which can be applied for or receiving a call (as shown by the full black), and other devices will be denied access to the network ( being white city). In this situation, to the amount of calls within the cell provided by the base station 102 exceeds a threshold, one of the communication channels on the antenna will be assigned to the TPA operations. However, while the channel remains available to the general public use until the request is authorized TPA- call. Therefore, not shown in Figure 2, any changes in the network.

The various embodiments to address these overload conditions to allow the use of a cellular network when they are emergency personnel arrive at the scene, which are shown in Fig. When emergency responders 108 is in the field, a person may initiate a radio telephone call. If the communication channel assigned to the TPA operation is being pre-registered as a wireless device that the wireless device is the first party a response TPA-, the network can be recognized by applying the pre-registered wireless TPA device from the unique ID of the wireless device and the It recognizes the call as a call TPA-. The base station (102), BSC / RNC (103) or MSC (104) may ensure that the call is connected to TPA. If necessary, decreasing the assigned bandwidth to private user of the wireless device one or more non-emergency call can be interrupted during a call to enable the call to be connected to TPA. This is illustrated in Figure 3, during the connection to the wireless device (101c), the calls are dropped, and further access is denied to the network (illustrated in white lightning display), first responders (108) TPA call (black in the dotted line by the illustrated as a lightning bolt) is connected.

Additional emergency personnel 109 may need to be connected as shown in the time to get to an emergency scene, additional calls are TPA Fig. To account for the increase in the TPA call, additional network resources may be automatically assigned to the TPA operation to provide reliable cellular communications to the emergency responders. This also is illustrated in 4, 4 is the wireless devices (101b, 101c, and 101f) is connected termination (illustrated as a white lightning bolt) police 108, fire 109 personnel and the TPA call connection during the shows a (illustrated by the black dotted line in the lightning bolt). The more resources assigned automatically to TPA used to reduce the bandwidth available to the general public, which is common to limit the access to the network. However, emergency personnel received many calls for continued volume provides reliable access to the network remarkable.

Eventually, it will be resolved emergencies will begin to withdraw from emergency personnel on-site. As the state has returned to normal, while the amount of the private call returns to the normal level, the number of emergency responders that require access TPA- will also decrease. This is illustrated in Figure 5, Figure 5 is a fire suppression has been shown that fire fighters have left the field. The small number of the general public of a wireless device (101a to 101g) as the traffic begins to return to the normal flow at the same time access to the network. As cellular communication is restored to normal cellular communication resources are released from the TPA operation it can be restored to the normal network operation. As illustrated, emergency personnel remaining amount is reduced to the point that is called TPA operation is completed (108) is connected to the cellular network in the normal way.

When the TPA operations to be implemented on one or more communication channels, the cellular system (e.g., a base station, BSC / RNC, or from the MSC to the local system, or in a central location, such as NOC) is to monitor for incoming calls and outgoing calls, and any this determines if the call is coming from or destined for the personnel emergency response personnel. This can be done by recognizing the originating or destination wireless device as a TPA pre-registered wireless devices. Alternatively, the system may recognize the personnel at the completion of the dialing procedure described in the * 272 emergency response personnel special dialing procedures, such as below.

It may be pre-registered for use by a TPA wireless devices authorized user. This can be done by registering as a qualified emergency responders (based on the criteria established by, for example, government agencies) in a cellular network provider. As is well known in the communication technology, all wireless devices accessing the cellular communication 101 receives specify a unique identification number. In the pre-registration process, the service supplier is a cellular network and stored in the database of human TPA applied the unique ID number of the wireless device. The cellular network providers also can be issued for unique personal identification number (PIN) to an individual for use in implementing preemption right from the non-TPA -TPA wireless device, which is described more fully below.

If the wireless device's emergency response has not been pre-registered (for example, a borrowed phone), and if the network is overloaded, emergency response person can not access network resources. In this situation, emergency response person may activate the embodiments of the TPA from the wireless device 101 is unregistered press PIN (personal identification number) and telephone number following the first 272 *. The nearest base station 102 in an unregistered wireless device 101 receives a transmission gate, indicating that the wireless device, and initiating a call from a wireless device (101). Base station 102 (or the BSC / RNC (103) connected to the receiving base station) is recognized by a special dialed station number * 272 begins to route the call to the appropriate destination. Alternatively, * 272 recognizes the dialed station number and routing may be performed in the MSC (104). This destination may be a center position having the closest PSAP or PIN database. * 272 is the call the call is similarly processed in the MSC (104) from the BSC / RNC (103) as the progress and the future through a communication network system. The base station 102 and the BSC / RNC (103) and MSC (104) for controlling the associated antenna other is programmed to recognize the special dialing procedures using pre-registered First Responder PIN database. The PIN database may be stored in the other central location, such as the MSC (104) or the NOC. If the received PIN matches the PIN record in the database, the MSC (104) as described above may be provided as soon as the call is parked enemy access to the network to the caller made from TPA registered wireless devices. To support this capability, TPA- assigned channel receives and recognizes a sufficient capacity to hold an open * 272 dialing the called TPA- during operation. If the communication channel you are dialing numbers that do not start with full capacity * 272, the call Disconnected immediately without attempting to complete a call. However, if dialed number begins with a * 272, and MSC (104) will complete the process of temporarily registered in the call as TPA- authorized wireless device compares the entered PIN and a PIN database. -TPA Are non-call can be cut off if necessary, in order to maintain a sufficient capacity to receive and recognize calls * 272.

Throughout the present application through reference it is made for the performance of TPA in the monitoring and providing MSC (104) that, that the other elements of the communication systems can implement a variety of method steps should be appreciated by those skilled in the art. These factors can include base station antennas (102), BSC / RNC (103), or the equipment used with the NOC, but not limited thereto.

Once the wireless device 272 is recognized as a * TPA- telephone by dialing procedure, MSC (104) has at least one communication channel is continued as if the wireless device is registered by the tracking wireless device and assigned to the TPA operation TPA- it will be processed. Using a unique identification number assigned to the wireless device, MSC (104) will recognize the subsequent calls from the wireless device as TPA- call without the user to repeat the procedure dialing * 272. Likewise, MSC (104) may identify the incoming call to the first responders for receiving a TPA preemption service. Thus, using the unregistered wireless device first responders 108 TPA is a number (for example, the dispatcher (dispatcher) or "911") using the * 272 dialing procedure to call the incoming and outgoing calls during the shift it can be immediately registered to the wireless device.

In one embodiment, using the process described above is TPA * 272 dialing an authorized user with the PIN authentication may be any number of wireless devices. This embodiment party first response to, say police, firefighter or emergency medical technicians are they volunteers that found at the scene, such as military personnel, doctors will make it possible to agency of or retired police officers, and therefore reliable it will create an instant emergency communication network. 272 * all communication channels in the temporary TPA- is the affected area of ​​the wireless device established by the dialing procedure, since they cancel as the return (that is to stop, TPA operation) in the normal operation, that is revealed is the authorized user of the PIN If there is limited concern that the TPA system can function properly in subsequent emergencies. Even if the PIN and revealed, are PIN can be easily varied without significant effect, because it is expected that accidents are not frequent TPA implementation, generation of random and sometimes.

In a further embodiment, which does not have a PIN (or forgotten) TPA- user can also register other phone "on the fly" of the registered wireless devices and thus by initiating any special dialing procedures on a wireless device event briefly TPA in the can "proxy" it during the duration. For example, using the corresponding first self TPA- registered wireless devices, following the * 272 may dial a "proxy" number of the wireless device to be (can be used any of the dialing station or PostScript). The call when received by the MSC (104), station number * 272 or PostScript is recognized that the dialed numbers are treated as indicating that the wireless device is a temporary TPA-, this call in the database to track this short TPA is the store and the unique ID of the wireless device. using this performance, the first responder is simply to act on them quickly by calling number of the one or more volunteers.

In still further embodiments, the emergency response personnel with the right qualifications for the level of pre-registration TPA services or PIN is still one first emergency personnel at the scene of an emergency. Users may initiate a special dialing procedure * 272 using a wireless device in their US pre-registration. This call is issued to the temporary PIND may be forwarded to the PSAP that can be added to the wireless device is in the temporary database TPA.

Alternatively, when a user initiates a special dialing * 272 (or similar dialing procedures such as 911), the call may be forwarded to the PSAP. In a large-scale crisis situations, it is impossible or can not quickly respond to the PSAP faster response due to the large amounts corresponding to the incoming call. If in such a situation, the call is * 272 does not respond within a predetermined time frame, by the PSAP, a temporary TPA applied can be issued automatically. Surrounding the issuance of the applied temporary TPA is unclear whether they matter because it is not fully analyzed by a PSAP operator, an appropriate user is authorized to receive a temporary TPA. Thus, it can be displayed on the monitor to the PSAP is applied to temporary inactive or TPA possible investigation.

In a further embodiment, the cellular network is applied TPA- registered wireless devices and, optionally, temporarily TPA- when dialing to the wireless device a private (i.e., non-authorized -TPA) in the cell zone (s) for implementing the behavior TPA the is configured to give a priority to the call from the wireless device. When such a call is created, MSC (104) is programmed to route to the wireless device dialed the call through the communications channel or channels allocated to the TPA operations. TPA- applied when a call is received from the wireless device to the wireless device when the private TPA- the allocated channel is in full operation, the other wireless device a private call is disconnected and to provide sufficient capacity to complete the call, It is used to prevent the preemption process associated choppy other 911 calls. This embodiment provides the ability to be dialed for the emergency to the emergency personnel. For example, emergency personnel can recall the civilians that called 911 to report an emergency to the initial request to renew it from potential witnesses using the capacity. As yet another example, the call, ensuring that the first corresponding self may be called volunteers within the first field without acting the telephone volunteers, communication network can reach volunteers even though the overwhelming in different ways can.

TPA operations may be implemented in two different embodiments of the disclosure. Also in the first embodiment will be described below with reference to Figure 6, one or more cellular communication channels are inde-only call to the TPA, leaving the remaining communication channels while providing the communication capacity dedicated to emergency personnel to the general public. In the second embodiment to be described below, see Fig. 7, the preempted call for TPA call is implemented only when reaching the communication channel capacity allocated TPA. These embodiments are described separately below.

Figure 6 illustrates the flow of an exemplary process of the steps that may be taken to implement the first embodiment of the TPA which can operate with a computing device having a processor. During normal operation, the cellular network is monitored amount is called (block 201). In particular, the cellular network calls amount (or number of access request or call bandwidth being) is compared against a predetermined threshold (e.g., 85% of the maximum capacity) (block 202). If the amount of calls to more than a predetermined threshold, it is assumed that there is a normal situation, the monitoring process returns to block 201 and continues to monitor the call volume. However, when the amount exceeds the call (or call or bandwidth being of access request) is undetermined threshold, there is an abnormal situation that can indicate that the unfolding emergency. In order to prepare for emergency situations, network resources (e.g., communication channel on a particular base station antenna) it is divided and held for TPA using (block 203). By using the communication channel automatically assigned to TPA, the system allows the network is the other hand, even if the overload takes TPA- wireless device is authorized to get access to the network. However, TPA preemption does not occur until you attempt to access the network that the caller hung TPA- qualified overload.

Since the increased amount may not be able to respond, or to respond to an emergency call, a communication channel assigned to the TPA will continue to function normally handled by the conventional manner as a private call (i.e., non--TPA). Simply increasing the amount of call request due to the accidental network and in the examples that the application attempting to call the user with non-qualified TPA-, the call enabled by TPA preemption is required. Thus, any threshold value may be exceeded even if TPA is not actually an emergency incident, and the TPA can be implemented. The delay of the service is the actual implementation of TPA parked until requested by the first responders and increases the reliability of the network under normal circumstances.

The system may be notified that the actual emergency situation occurs, which is indicated by the cells in the affected area it is to apply for TPA- TPA called emergency response personnel. The communication channel TPA mode you time, cellular system (base station, BSC / RNC / MSC in, or NOC, such as a central location to doom) the incoming and outgoing calls to monitoring by any of the emergency response personnel TPA-pre-registered radio and that using a device or judgment to have completed the special dialing procedure to cause TPA preempted (block 204). Any emergency response personnel also TPA- authorized does not initiate a call using the wireless device or a special dialing procedure, the system continues to an access request in block 204, and monitor the amount of call in block 201, , the communications channel and determines whether the release from TPA operation (block 202)).

If the call is initiated by the TPA- it authorized wireless device, or the call is to use a non-272 * dialing procedures - if generated from the pre-registered wireless device, the TPA is started (block 205). When the TPA is started (block 205), will be allowed to the or access to the emergency personnel only the "immediate" the and held dividing network resource with a given authorization previously registered. As noted above, TPA is a single initial implementation will be normally in the communication channel, will leave the remaining channels in the General public. since, in this case using TPA- exceeding the capacity of the network resources assigned TPA-, another resource can be converted into TPA operation has at one time one channel or one by only the network resources to the emergency personnel to use the resources, the remaining network resources are non - are available for essential General public in addition, the network resources for the communication of emergency personnel by only, the emergency personnel can send and receive calls on their wireless device.

In an alternative embodiment, in (block 205) at the start of the TPA, MSC (104) are wireless devices served by the other base station antenna 102 in the or the same BSC / RNC (103) located within a cell affected 101 can be checked to identify all registered or temporarily registered for first responders. Such first responders may be notified via a (or the other way), SMS messages that they can take advantage of the service using the TPA application by the call, or special dialing procedures (block 206).

In a further optional embodiment, the base station (102), BSC / RNC (103), or MSC (104) is also affected any ratio within the area / cell 100-a to the first wireless device (101a to 101g) message It has to send, with the exception of emergency 911 calls can notify to the device to indicate that the emergency services are notified and to avoid the use of their wireless device (101a to 101g) (block 207). The message transmission procedure can be initiated by the PSAP responsible for accidents in the local area by accident command and control authorities or by the network service provider. These messages may be delivered via a SMS message, or other communication means. The system also has their call to a caller connected to a channel assigned to the TPA are used to notify that the end prior to termination of the call connection.

When the emergency situation continues to expand and additional emergency response personnel receive on-site, additional network resources that may be needed to support emergency communications personnel. Thus, the network resources are of the segmented and only monitoring, additional network resources are divided may be assigned to determine if the TPA. This can be done by comparison with the pre-defined maximum or minimum threshold value of the call quantity for the division only network resources (block 208). When calling amount exceeds the predefined maximum value (which indicates a situation in which increased stepwise), for example, cell site / divided and 25% use of a dedicated network resources in a sector, additional dedicated network resources are divided into TPA operations ( block 211), the emergency response personnel can communicate.

In one embodiment, the additional channels prior to termination of the call in order to assign the TPA operations, have an assigned channel having an ongoing call or data session, the non-essential (e. G., Non-emergency personnel), the wireless devices 101, this, if it is defined codes are not input can be informed about this that urges the sound and / or a recording end announcement their call (block 210). Which inputs a first responders are code (for example, their PIN) quickly to maintain their call. If the emergency call is in progress 911, it may be defined in the code supplied by the PSAP.

In one embodiment, the system continues the network resources for the communication of emergency response personnel until all of the available network resources are dedicated to emergency response personnel will use to automatically query and re-allocation. This embodiment is to maximize the communications performance of the emergency response personnel. The ability to inform the emergency response personnel for other embodiments at least a minimum portion (for example, a communication channel) to hold the first being a new or expanded to the public status of network resources, such as made possible by application 911 calls can do. Thus, other embodiments may be imposing a maximum limit on the amount of network resources, the resources is taken from the general public is dedicated to the communication of emergency response personnel. To do this, MSC (104) is the maximum amount of splitting network resource may determine that the communication of the private emergency response personnel (block 209). If the maximum amount of network resources which have already been split only, MSC (104) may continue to monitor the utilization levels of the partition and only the network resources (block 208). A partition and when the maximum amount of network resources that can be dedicated that is not reached, MSC (104) is (optionally) calls are now communicated to the caller (block 210) that the end, using emergency response personnel from public use, It can reallocate network resources (block 211). Once the additional communication channel is dedicated, MSC (104) will determine whether to return to monitoring the utilization level of the network resources in a partitioned and dedicated, the emergency increased stepwise and that the or step down, and ( block 208).

As the emergency response personnel to mitigate the accident and emergency activities to return to normal conditions, the demand for network resources will be reduced when emergency personnel to leave the field. In order to enable the system to return to normal operation, MSC (104) will continue to be up, to monitor the call volume for the network resources of the segmented for display of the stepwise increasing or stepwise reduced only (block 208) . When the level of use of network resources in the partitioned only falls below a predefined minimum value, MSC (104) may begin to re-reassigned to the general public using the network resources (block 212). Network resources can be automatically reassigned by channel, by reducing the resources allocated to the emergency personnel used incrementally, and returns to normal operation in a stepped manner.

Release by mobilizing a channel or network resources by the network resource the first time, the present embodiment provides a flexible communication system, the system can adapt to the situation, as the progress status. If the situation that would require more or less of network resources for the communication of emergency personnel, system and method according to the present embodiment can meet the demand of network resources, while still providing some general public to use. The system can avoid TPA- after each release of the dedicated channel can accommodate a surge of the emergency personnel used during the wind-down state of the accident waiting for a period of time, and therefore have to repeat the process of breaking unnecessarily caller ( block 210).

Once the cellular communication channel is reassigned to the General Public, MSC (104) determines whether any of the more network resources are present and that only the division of the current emergency personnel to communicate (block 213). If additional network resources that is divided and only for the current communication of the emergency personnel, the MSC (104) will return to block 208 to determine whether there is an emergency and increased stepwise or step down. When an emergency situation is reduced by a further step-by-step return to normal, emergency response personnel will require more and less network resources to support their communication. Thus, MSC (104) is up in response to the call quantity continues to the general public using the network resources geotinde be automatically re-assigned (block 212), re-assignment until all network resources in the normal operating configuration for the General Public something to do. MSC (104) may return to block 201 and then may be waiting for the emergency monitor the call volume.

In the second embodiment illustrated in the process flow diagram in Figure 7, the network resources are allocated at the level of the individual call by the call preemption incrementally using TPA, while meeting the emergency personnel use requirements to be maximized is a public access to the network do. During normal operation, using the cellular communications network is monitored (block 302). Network access request, the call threshold amount or a predetermined bandwidth in the call may be compared (for example, 85% of the maximum capacity) (block 304). If use is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold, it is assumed that there is a normal situation, continues to monitor the amount of calls to monitor the process returns to block 302. However, when usage exceeds a predetermined threshold, there is an abnormal situation that can indicate that the unfolding emergency. In order to prepare for emergency situations, it affects network resources such as communication channel on the base station receiving antenna are divided and reserved for use TPA (block 306). By using the communication channel automatically assigned to TPA, the system is to allow the wireless device is authorized TPA- get access to the network, This is true even if this is in contrast to network overload. However, the TPA preemption does not occur until you attempt to access the network TPA- eligible callers jammed the overload that.

Since the increased amount may not be able to respond, or to respond to an emergency call, a communication channel assigned to the TPA will continue to function normally handled by the conventional manner as a private call (i.e., non--TPA). Simply increase the amount of calls due to accidental calls and the amount of eligible non-TPA- examples in which the user is attempting to apply the call, the call preemption is not required, made possible by the TPA. Thus, TPA TPA call preemption threshold could be exceeded, even if TPA is not needed and can be implemented. It is to preempt delay the actual implementation of TPA parked until requested by the first responders and increases the reliability of the network under normal circumstances.

Has the network resources allocated to the TPA operation, the cellular system (the base station, BSC / RNC, or that in a central location, such as MSC) monitors the incoming and outgoing call (block 308). To function as a normal cellular communications channels are assigned channel continues to TPA-, which (a) the channel is busy until the full capacity (i.e., through the channels until it is equal to the maximum capacity that the amount of the current call) and (b ) it is true until TPA- qualified wireless device that is attempting to access the network to apply, or receive a call. TPA- is monitoring the amount of calls on the assigned communication channel, and determines whether the call should be disconnected in order to connect and TPA- eligible calls. Therefore, TPA- time a new call is received to be assigned to the assigned channel (incoming or outgoing), the system first, the channel is a lot of calls that can maintain the current operation that the front (i.e., the channel is reliable connection manhage and that a) it can be determined (block 310). If this channel is of the non-movable front (that is, if the excess capacity exists on the network), and a call is connected (block 315). This monitoring of the TPA channel is present on the case to make up a sufficient channel capacity available for connection of a new incoming or outgoing call TPA can prevent connection to terminate the private call.

As discussed above, the system is aware of the source or destination of the wireless device by determining whether TPA- registered wireless devices (block 312) and it is applied by TPA- that the caller has completed the special dialing procedures are invoked if can do. This dialing procedure can lead to TPA preempted (Block 316). In block 315, the call can be connected. For example, if the caller is using a wireless device and TPA- registered with (or is called for this application), it may be a call is connected. The call is released can be connected when the at least one non--TPA call is connected on the allocated channel and TPA- (block 314), and capacity sufficient to connect the TPA call (block 315). This makes the first call without qualification TPA- response delay, even if that party is in operation over the network. Similarly, when an incoming call destined for the wireless device in TPA- qualifications, this is at least one non--TPA call termination on the TPA channel so as to connect the incoming call to the wireless device in TPA- qualification. Procedure to terminate the non--TPA called from a channel assigned to the wireless device may be more calls to a wireless device in TPA- eligible to continue to as access networks. If the caller did not enter the sequence and types of dialing * 272 if not using a TPA- registered telephone, the call when system resources are non-movable front - can be blocked as an emergency call (block 320). If the caller enters a special dialing sequence (for example * 272 plus PIN), entered PIN is PIN values ​​stored in the (e. G., A base station (102), BSC / RNC (103), or in the MSC (104)) database and It is compared (block 318). If the PIN matches the registered emergency personnel, the non -TPA call is connected on the allocated channel TPA- release sufficient capacity to connect (block 314) TPA call (block 315).

This system can also ensure that the amount of calls to monitor the assigned channel on the TPA- has enough capacity to accept (block 322), additional emergency personnel requirements. TPA- call on the TPA- amount allocated communication channel is (that is, TPA- qualify the amount of calls from / to the wireless devices in) is compared with a threshold in block 322, assigning a communication channel to another when using TPA whether it can be determined. TPA if the call exceeds a threshold amount (i.e., test 322 = "YES"), the other channel will be allocated in block 306 the TPA feature, which has been discussed above.

Call amount (block 324) on the respective amount TPA- TPA- call on the assigned channel (block 322) and all the channel may be continuously monitored. This will occur when the TPA calls were no longer can be determined when it is being created, the emergency is resolved first responders have when you leave the site, or the total call volume TPA operations will return to the more levels you do not need . When called continually exceeds the TPA threshold amount, the system is said to accept the call and checks the amount (block 308), TPA channel call while connected (block 310) and the call (block 315) continue at least one of the TPA mode It may activate the channel, which is the case on / from the wireless device calls the TPA is applied (block 312) or if the amount of calls is less than the capacity. While reducing the amount of TPA- call, it can be reduced by releasing the TPA channel number of the channel assigned to the TPA- operation (block 326). Geotinde is released from the operation of the channel is to monitor the call, and TPA amount allocated to continue all communication channels will be continued until it returns to normal operation. In addition, if the amount of calls on the non -TPA channel falling back to normal, the system may deactivate the TPA operations on all of the allocated channel, the reason is that without the need for a qualified TPA- TPA preempt the normal capacity of the network because it can accommodate the caller.

The second embodiment which will work TPA- the assigned channel in a manner that ensures that the access to the network, providing the maximum bandwidth that the caller is TPA- all available to the general public. Monitoring the amount of TPA channel call on a channel when there is sufficient capacity in order to enable the connection of a new incoming or outgoing call TPA avoids the breaking of this system is a private call. If you do not use any emergency response personnel also TPA- authorized wireless device or a special dialing procedure starts the call, the system will continue to monitor the access request (block 308), and the amount of call (block 324), the communication channel it is determined whether to be released from the TPA operation (block 326).

Additional embodiments can provide that prioritize for access to the network resources of TPA- only makes it possible to use the highest priority callers are cellular networks. The number of emergency responders in the situation that might exceed the capacity of the cellular network resources, this embodiment is a high priority users, for example possible to state leadership and field commanders parked for the other, lower priority user make-up can get immediate access to the network. High priority users may use their pre-registered wireless device to gain access to the network. Is used, a unique ID of their wireless device may determine the priority of the user from the own ID database. Similarly, high priority users network (e.g., MSC (104)) has a code or PIN to provide sufficient information on, to identify themselves to the network by using a special dialing procedure, the user of the priority from the PIN database It may determine. Using the priority value determined from the database, to determine whether the network (e.g., MSC (104)) is currently the caller has a higher priority than any of the caller has already been connected to the network resources assigned TPA- can. On the assumption that the wireless device 101 is suitably applied, there can be provided a priority call from the queue on the TPA- allocated network resources, which emergency personnel member using a wireless device that is pre-registered for the call It is intended to make it complete. If the network resource being fully operational, the call from a person with a lower priority level intermittent loss can freely give sufficient capacity to complete the call.

Figure 8 illustrates an exemplary hierarchy of emergency response personnel. Various other configurations and may include other personnel that the personnel and roles or positions may be varied on the basis of an accident, for example, the army commander 302, etc., which can assume the role of executive leadership. 8, the executive leadership and policy makers 301 can be provided with the highest priority status. Members of the layers can be pre-register their wireless device 101, in order to ensure that the unique identifier of the wireless device 101 is stored in a hierarchical database. If the application to be invoked from any of the wireless device pre-registered for the members of the executive leadership and policy makers layer 301, the call is first apply to any queue of network resources in the partitioned only. Similarly, disaster response / Military command and control personnel (302) Following the public health, safety, and law enforcement command (303), public service / public utilities and public welfare (304), and Disaster Response Teams (305), and It may be provided with a layer of the next highest priority. A lower level of priority may be provided to the police and fire fighters 306 and emergency medical technicians (307) sequence. In all cases, the wireless devices to pre-register their unique identifier stored in and / or PIN of the user database hierarchy can support the present embodiment.

The previous embodiments can also be implemented in a cellular system using a possible "switch-on wheels" cellular communication system are used efficiently. These systems are large-scale emergency / disaster situations with limited access and command authority party emergency response because it can be implemented in, a network overload is applied for too many applications at the same time the call (that is, non-private) will result from the user to ensure the communication reliable in such cases, the available switch-on wheels are on the other hand, can be connected to termination if necessary are the lowest priority, the authorized user that the caller priority callers with a (s, for example, country and area commander) ranking embodiment proceeds to the highest priority will be guaranteed access to a cellular communication . can be maintained in this embodiment, in the individual precedence (hierarchy) level within the server (for example being illustrated in Fig. 8), the switch-on wheels authorized user database is used to efficiently represent.

The previous embodiments have been described as being performed by the MSC (104). Those skilled in the art will recognize that the preceding embodiments may be implemented at the base stations (102), BSC / RNC (103) or a number of elements within the computer switching system, a cellular communications network including but not limited to this NOC. This monitoring of the communication channel and the amount of intra-cell calls is already automated. Such systems may be reprogrammed to implement the embodiment of the front so that the implementation of TPA operations performed automatically. Therefore, the system can automatically detect whether the amount of calls so that the communication channels assigned to the TPA operations are greater than a threshold time. This system can be applied to the TPA-only calling up the network resources recognize further described above, and automatically performs a call connection and termination as described above. As similarly, call TPA amount decreases below the threshold level, the system can automatically return to the normal network configuration. In this manner, the cellular network may enable secure communications for emergency personnel without the need for human intervention or action in response to the emergency. For example, even if an accident is not reported (for example, even if no one else dialing 911), the system will respond to the call excess amount in order to enable the use of the emergency response network Nevertheless self. This performance also ensures that (typical of people who may be authorized to implement TPA) police, fire and EMT personnel are there during peak usage times, such as to use the cellular network during the subsequent conclusions of the congestion zone, or major sporting events on the highway do.

Used to implement the preceding embodiment can accept hardware processing elements and memory elements configured to execute a set of directives, it is a set of directives to perform the method steps corresponding to the above methods. These processing and memory elements are computer-may be in the form of other computer system that is used in the operating switches, servers, workstations, and the cellular communication center and the remote facility (e.g., a base station antenna position). Some steps or methods may be performed by a particular device to a predetermined function.

Wireless devices use a portion of the RF spectrum dedicated to cellular telephony. The RF spectrum is due to the already onerous increase in the number of wireless devices using the RF bandwidth, and an inefficient allocation of bandwidth in the market decreased at a fast pace, by default. Since the total RF spectrum is limited, increasing the number of users of the RF spectrum, may require the increasing needs are addressed properly is to ensure a more efficient way to manage the RF spectrum of the RF spectrum are.

Based on the currently available RF spectrum is assigned a static model, such as the assumed model and old (archaisic) licensing process is divided up between the cellular service provider. The current conducted is dependent on the static allocation model for providers within the defined frequency and space block command and control method that allows the spectrum allocation. For example, a static method of renting the RF spectrum involves the basis of the rent, specify the complete block or sub-blocks of the spectrum to one of the operators for their exclusive use. This spectrum is allocated together wholesale insufficient, because on the basis of that the licensed spectrum may be used in the future provider guess purchasing spectrum.

However, the spectral use, and traffic may depend on different parameters, including the geographic location of the wireless device using a dynamic, time of day and the corresponding spectrum and a spectrum is used. Traffic is used may be a time-dependent, because the used can vary during peak compared to non-peak hours. Traffic can also be based upon the geographical location because that subscribers use the network can also vary. For example, during the day, the subscribers can vary based on use while traveling to work, for while you are at work, while traveling back from work, or during non-working hours, time, and geography of the spectrum of the network above.

Because it is not possible to predict the spectral use, and traffic is dynamic and, providers are almost inevitable waste of spectral resource by guess for its future use. Therefore, creating an additional inefficiencies through the current spectrum allocation scheme in a real-time to fail to consider the data, promotes the utilization and segmentation of the spectrum, the implementation of protection frequency and bandwidth throttling or bandwidth-intensive features and services for traffic patterns .

Method and system in accordance with the various embodiments provides a dynamic arbitration large spectrum (DSA) system for dynamic management of the road, assignment, access, and use of the available RF spectrum by using the real-time data. Currently, RF spectrum is based on a guess of future use, and without considering the real-time data are purchased or licensed in the frequency and space. DSA communication system made ​​available on the basis of the RF spectrum in frequency, space (e.g., geographic region) and time, therefore, provides a flexible and dynamic spectrum management method compared to current static and command control method. Since the RF spectrum available to resources based on time, frequency, and space, the allocated spectrum communication system through the DSA can be used for short-term lease and may be no interference. Short-term lease of the spectrum is possible to increase the race at a given market area and can improve the spectral efficiency without having an adverse effect on the ability of operators to deliver services. Spectrum availability, assignment, access by efficiently and dynamically manage and use, DSA ​​communication system may in fact, increases the available RF spectrum.

In an embodiment, DSA communication system may be a stand-alone business associated with providers participating. In such a scenario, the components of DSA communication systems providers have their resources vs. The integrated device to determine whether to monitor traffic and bandwidth they need additional resources can be provided or whether the group can accept the network provider to join. The ratio of the DSA communication system Integration components can manage the overall resources of the exchange between the participating providers. The advantage of using the DSA communications system may include providing a wider and more effective use of the bandwidth on a commercial to optimize revenue, and physical (geographical) and the time base.

In an embodiment, DSA communication system can enable the allocation of and access to the resources of the RF spectrum resources by requesting to join in the communication system provider are DSA participating. For example, the subscription may be based on the pricing. As participants in the DSA communication system, the use of any by providers are sleeping in, and that out of the RF spectrum "swim lane (swim lane)" according to their readiness to pay for their requirements and hence on the bandwidth requesting the RF spectrum it may be possible to use the available RF spectrum. Spectrum of a "swim lane" is an RF spectrum bandwidth owned / controlled by a single provider.

To participate in the communication system DSA, the initial carrier (s) may agree to allow the use of their secondary spectrum in the market. DSA communication system can be enabled to offer to sell to purchase the available spectrum in the network of the service provider each agent or the additional spectrum to buyers provider.

In an embodiment, DSA communication system can judge the compatibility of wireless subscriber devices (101) for use in the secondary cluster and Mandelieu. If the subscriber devices are competent it can be used incompatible radio access network (RAN). Thus, if wireless device 101 has access to a different RAN, DSA communication system may facilitate the device access to the spectrum from the other RAN, which, even if between the free switch is compatible RAN It is true. DSA communication system may provide a basis for implementation specific to the spectrum policy, and capacity management. DSA communication system to make a long-term-Pollution (LTE), EVDO (Evolution-Data Optimized or Evolution-Data only), HSPA (Evolved High-Speed ​​Packet Access), and any known radio access platform to the base may be.

Figure 9 illustrates a communications component of DSA in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment based on LTE access platform (900). DSA communication system may include a dynamic spectrum policy controller (DPC, 902) connected to the home subscriber server (HSS, 904), the home subscriber server can communicate with network components of the network providers. HSS (904) may be a master user database that supports the DPC (902). HSS (904) a subscription-related information may include (that is, the subscriber profile), can be a Certification and secondary users is, to provide selectively, information, IP information about the location of the subscriber have. HSS (904) may include a user (SAE) subscription data, such as a random access restrictions for EPS- QoS subscription profile and the roaming. The HSS also maintains information about the PDN that the user can access, may be stored or maintained. This may be an access point name (APN) (refers to registering the IP address (s)) (this being the label according to the DNS naming conventions to describe the access point to PDN) or a PDN address form. In addition, HSS (904) holds the ID of the dynamic information, such as a MME (Mobility Management Entity) the user is currently associated or registered. HSS (904) can also incorporate the authentication center (AUC), the center generates an authentication key and security for keys vector.

HSS (904) may be connected to origin server 7 (SS7, 906). DPC (902) and the HSS (904) may be connected to the Internet 106. HSS (904) may communicate in network independently of the components of the network through SS7 (906).

DPC (902) may also communicate with network components of the network provider directly via a DSC (910) without through the commercial or private wireless carrier 903, and DSC (910), or using a commercial or private carriers . DSC (910) components can be added to a network element for participating in a network communication system and DSA may communicate with OMC / NMS (910). In various embodiments, DSC (910) may include a policy control and charging rules function (PCRF) (905) a wired or wireless connection to the component / server.

The availability of spectrum resources

In various embodiments, DSA communication system may enable a spectrum provider to monitor and evaluate the use of his RF spectrum and available, and the other providers, or are not signed up users (e.g., secondary user RF spectrum have not been used for use by) can be made available. DSA communication system may provide different methods, such as the location and database search, the signal detector and the spectrum used to determine the beacon also available RF spectrum. DSA communication systems identify the spectrum resources that can be provided for use by a provider (the host networks) are for example based on payment or pay per minute per use, another provider or providers subscribers (secondary users) that may enable that.

In an exemplary embodiment, as illustrated in Figure 9, DSA communication system 900 is a network may be enabled to determine the availability of RF resources. In each of the networks or sub-networks, DSC (910) is to monitor the call traffic through the OMC / NMS (912), can receive the detailed status of the various network element in real time, without adding another device to the network. DSC (910) is from the position, it based on the expected traffic margin and system policies perform policy-based QoS decision, network or subnetwork 2 whether you have the resources to be allocated for car use or other provider of the existing traffic It may determine whether the required resources.

DSC (910) may be configured using a capacitor policy criteria have software to deliver data on the availability of spectrum resources to the DPC (902). The data that is passed to the DPC (902) may include data about the expected future capacity of the current exceeds the capacity and networks or sub-networks.

Available in the network provider resources can be dynamically allocated and assigned termination. Paul information resources is controlled by a DSC (910) can be relayed to the DPC (902) to a center adjustment. However, on the basis of the rule set in the DSA communication system, DSC (910) are there to identify the resources available to a secondary use at the system level and the cluster level, and variation by the increase and decrease the traffic in the system, the secondary can pool resources and increase and decrease for use with the DSC (910) it may be reported to the DPC (902).

The allocation of the available resources

In various embodiments, DSA system can further manage the assignment or designation of the RF spectrum resources of the network provider for use by a particular use, such as a secondary user. Various criteria of DSA communication system provider, such as a prioritization level (e.g., low priority or priority No), access type (e.g., "always on", "surge" guaranteed access and bandwidth), and based on the price you can manage the RF spectrum allocation.

With currently available technology and spectrum allocation contrast, the assignment of spectrum resources by the DSA communication system may depend on the status of real-time traffic service participating supplier. DSA is the availability of the communication system resource allocation to different factors, such as resources, may depend in addition to the policy associated with the type of service being delivered and the service. The main part of the DSA policy criteria that may be considered in order to allocate resources in a communication system may comprise a selected radio access, increase capacity, QoS, the bearer (bearer) selected, the congestion control, routing, security, and ratings. DPC and DSC (910) may perform a policy definition and control.

Radio access selection: DSA communication system can be configured to achieve the best available spectrum designated from the available resource pool. The position in the spectrum factors spectral bandwidth, a frequency band considered in the selection of the specified spectrum may include a geographical area, and QoS with the requested service.

Capacity increase: DSA communication system can be configured to achieve best growth available capacity from the available resource pool. Considered in gyeoljeongsi factors spectral bandwidth, spectral location within a frequency band, may include the geographic area, and QoS with the requested service.

Bearer selection: DSA communication system may be configured to select the resources to support the requested QoS profile, and transmission in a wireless bearer service.

Admission control: DSA communication system can be to keep the information of the available / allocated resources used in a wireless and IP transmission network and in response to the new service configuration request to perform resource reservation / allocation.

Congestion Control: DSA communication system can be configured to seek an alternative method for the off-road and capacity to monitor the traffic conditions on the primary network. Additionally, DSA communication system may be configured to perform a back-off of the second user based on the increased traffic demands and as a primary network for monitoring the primary network.

Routing: DSA communication system can be configured to ensure that it is used an optimal route for the service on the basis of the bearer traffic, and available network resources.

Security: DSA communication system can be configured to provide security for the traffic stream, by separating the traffic into a tunnel to ensure the non-cross-pollination (cross pollination) for information.

Rating: DSA communication system can be configured to first adjust the rating scheme, including ranking and other carriers used rates and metering process.

DSA communication system resource allocation may be based on different methods, such as the connectionless and connection-oriented manner. By employing different allocation methods, DSA communication system provider that may be enabled to match the spectrum allocation and utilization based on their individual spectral traffic demand. Connectionless method may involve adjusting the spectrum use between networks in real-time. Connection-oriented method may include storing the spectrum resource and forwarding in accordance with the defined time interval. May be assigned additionally on the basis of the RF spectrum resources are required, then the request may be based on a running peak bandwidth and / traffic requirements. Request based on the allocation method may allow the maximum flexibility and spectrum utilization. DSA communication system provider that can be adopted a spectrum allocation method in a timely manner according to the supply makes it possible to allocate resources additionally. By employing the method of allocating timely supply method, DSA communication system can improve the utilization overall spectrum for a given marketplace may provide a revenue stream to the wireless operators.

It may enable rented while for the permission region, and one period of the - In an embodiment, DSA communications system command and by providing the whole spectrum or a sub-area defined for the authorized control functions. For example, DSA communication system with the ability to dynamically increase or decrease in the consumption of spectral-can be made by using a spectrum block approach facilitates the spectrum resource allocation. For example, a number of different communication networks may be assigned the spectrum to the same user.

Components, such as DPC (902) of the communication system, such as DSA, that is not part of the network of the provider shown in Figure 9 may manage spectrum allocation between the different networks or sub-networks.

In an embodiment, DSA communication system may be enabled to allocate resources that are currently specified for use by the primary user for use by the secondary user that the host network. In such a scenario, the second user may be granted access to the spectrum capacity or resources of the host network to the host independent of the existing network capacity available.

Control and policy management

DSA communication system can operate on the basis of predetermined rules, and parameters that may be based on the statistics of the channel is also available. For example, the operating rules may be DSA communication system, the system is determined to make it possible to monitor the level of access to the RF spectrum, whether used in the capacitor is assigned at any given time.

As described above, the resource allocation of the rules defined by the DSA communication system components, such as through the DPC (902) and DSC (910), business agreements, the device compatibility, the target system RAN, and the capacity and the request depending on the service, it can be done.

Figure 9 illustrates a further network architecture 900 of a method according to an exemplary embodiment for implementing policy control DSA. DSA communication system may be required to protect the parties to control rules and policies that are participating.

DSA in implementing the policy, of the participating network policy control and charging rules function (PCRF, 905) may provide the policy and service discipline, Rivada® policy control network (RPCN) the DSA rules and DPC (902 ) on the basis of the requirements may provide a policy change and correction. PCRF may be responsible for not only be responsible for policy control decision and flow based charging control function in the policy control enforcement function (PCEF) that reside on the PGW. PCRF is QoS is applied to provide a (QoS layer identifier [QCI] and bit rate) depends determining if a treatment in how certain data flow PCEF, and the data flow and applied satisfies a user's subscription profile thereto to ensure that. RPCN may be part of each of the DSC network (910). Is RPCN addition, can maintain a hot list for public safety users, the user may also be linked to the commercial system.

For example, it may indicate depletion of the host when the network resources, network PCRF (905) / RPCN is to take steps to recover the network to the host for additional resources in the priority user of the home network. Directive sent by the PCRF (905) / RPCN makin are taken to free resources for use by that user preference may be used to determine the course of action required. For example, the PCRF (905) / RPCN directives secondary users of wireless devices 101 or the second user of the wireless device from the network on the basis of the condition set or reduce the QoS for certain applications (101) the It can be reduced. And by reducing the traffic manage the resource level, the host network may implement a time slot allocation.

There are some optional sub-elements of the EPC may include a MME (914), MME is a LTE access-key control node for the network and may be responsible for idle node UE tracking and paging procedures including retransmissions and bearer activity / it may be involved in an inactive process and is also responsible for choosing the SGW for a UE for intra -LTE handover to the time of initial connection and involves the core network (CN) node relocation. MME (914) is (by interacting with the HSS) can be responsible for authenticating the user. NAS (Non Access Stratum) terminated in the MME is originating (914) and can also be responsible for creating and assigning a temporary ID for the UE. MME (914) is to check the authorization of the UE to connect to hold the service provider PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network), and to enforce the UE roaming restrictions. SGW (922) may act as an anchor for the movement between a mobile anchor for the user side during the other hand, also between eNodeB handover to routing and forwarding user data packets and the LTE technology and other 3GPP technologies. PGW (908) provides connectivity from the UE in accordance with the entry and the entry point Im of the traffic to the external packet data network for the UE. UE may have a PGW (908) with more than one simultaneous connectivity to multiple PDN access. HSS (926) a user may be in the central database containing information relating to - and related subscription. Function of the HSS (926) is, for example, may include mobility management, call and session establishment support, it is user authentication and access. ANDSF (Access Network Discovery and Selection Function, 918) provides information to the UE on the 3GPP access network and a non--3GPP access network (such as Wi-Fi) connectivity with. The purpose of the ANDSF (918) is to be priced and connections with the help Mandelieu priority the UE to discover the access network in the vicinity of service rules (policy) for managing. Network 900 may also not receive through a non-trusted access -3GPP include an ePDG (Evolved Packet Data Gateway), the UE has to check the data transmission connected to the EPC.

DSA communication system and control policies may have the same properties as those found in sangeopmang. However, in the DSA communication system, to improve the dynamic spectrum arbitration Large / combination is assigned primary and secondary (e. G., The balance of) the spectrum utilization of and the QoS policy-driven, and can reduce the overall cost.

In DSA system according to the embodiment, the policy / control may be set for a particular network resource level, the "pipe" per user or group of users per session. This policy also priorities, such as having the highest priority there may be as rejection of an emergency call, or affinity to, for example a new call to one or nearly congested time to allow the quality to deteriorate to the ongoing call relationship. DSA policy and control is also a special communication session type and the service provider It can be called up for the canned policy that can be applied in order to enable the best possible route.

Further access to the other allocated resources in the network

In an embodiment, DSA communication system may manage the access of the user to the RF spectrum resources available in the network. For example, DSA communication system may manage the access of the second user for the spectrum resources of the underlying host network is allocated for the secondary user.

Secondary users can use the use the different methods, such as by acting as a dynamic macromer (roamer) or compatible system having an adjusted spectrum access technologies to access to the spectrum resources of the underlying host network. The second user according to the access to the primary host spectrum resources, DSA communication system based on the one of the providers subscriber wireless device 101 has different parameters, such as price, the reception quality, geographic area, and location, the wireless device It may be enabled from the spectrum belonging to the home network provider (101) to change the bandwidth to the spectrum belonging to the host network provider.

DSA communication system based on the different access conditions may provide access to a secondary user. DSA communication system may provide access to the available spectrum by temporarily or traffic throughput of the shared radio access technology and the primary user of the default provider. Temporary access may involve accessing a defined spectrum allocated for use based on the policy of the communication system DSA. Sharing the spectrum there are subscribers of a single provider may secondarily involve access to the radio spectrum of the host provider.

Are secondary user of the home network provider can be employed different ways to reduce the RF spectrum of the basic resources allocated provider dynamically. For example, the default provider is managed to keep the auction and may bid for the secondary providers are available spectrum resources. Bids may be a fee-based process, this process is to manage the resale of the spectrum that are not used based on whether the temporary or a permanent for the efficient management of the excess resources that may not be used during that time, otherwise; Or whether the temporary or permanent, based on whether the management may involve the rental of excess RF spectrum.

Figure 10 illustrates a network architecture 1000 of the two radio network provider using the DSA communication systems to share spectrum resources. DSA communication system comprises two general components: mangoe and may include a component in network. Mangoe components of DSA communication system may include a DPC (902) connected to the HSS (904). DPC (902) may be enabled to dynamically manage the access to the DSA communication system network of the allocated spectrum resources. For example, DPC (902) can manage the access of secondary users of the network provider for the spectrum of the basic resources allocated to network providers.

DPC (902) may be adjusted to add a DSA communication system policy, and can lead to the sharing of information between network providers. DPC (902) may facilitate the billing policy and resource requests that can be added to, and communication networks.

DPC (902) may be configured to communicate with each DSA one or several networks via DSC-net (910) components of a communications system participating in the service supplier (for example, Network 1 and Network 2). In one embodiment, each of the network 1 and the network 2 may include a DSC (910a, 910b) that is water added for the online management center / network management system (OMC / NMS, 912a, 912b) of wireless operators. In each of the networks, DSC (910a, 910b) has to manage traffic and capacity of each of the network and on the basis of policy and rule sets of the command or the DPC (902) received from DPC in the continuous nodes for capacity constraint It can be monitored. DSC (910) may communicate with the DPC (910) the result.

Each network may include a wireless network (1002a, 1002b) and OMC / NMS (912a, 912b) to communicate. Wireless networks (1002a, 1002b) may communicate with the radio access nodes (102a, 102b). The wireless device 101 of the subscriber may be able to communicate with the radio access nodes (102a, 102b). Relationship and interconnection of these components of the network are known.

In one embodiment, DSC (910a) of the network 1 can determine whether additional resources can be requested by the first network. DSC (910a) of the network 1 may be configured to send a request for the additional resources to the DPC (902). DPC (902) may receive information for the second user of the wireless device (101a) and a location network.

DPC (902) may also be configured to receive data from the DSC (910b) from the other cooperation Mandelieu, such as networks 2. DSC (910b) of the second network may be further configured to report that the specified amount of resources available on the network 2 to the DPC (902).

DPC (902) is to facilitate real-time access to the requested network (e.g., networks 1) and the supply chain (for example, network 2) of the network 2 by the network 1 to and request to process the data received from the resource to which It can be configured. Once haejimyeon the spectrum resources from the network 2 is available for access by users of the network 1, DSC (910a) may be instructed to access the spectrum resource provided by the network 2 to change the network to the wireless device (101a) . For example, when a wireless device (101a) of the network 1 to request the communication resources, a set of rules that can be justified by the DSC (910) of the two networks. Network 2 is a PCRF can receive the update information of the wireless device (101a) from (905, shown in Figure 9). PCRF (905) with the other platforms may be a secondary user of a wireless device (101a) to have access to the resources allocated in the network 2.

In one embodiment, the accessibility of the resources for the second user through the DSA communication system may also be dependent on the host network operator policies and usage criteria for the resource. The criteria may include a radio access and core network resources.

For example, a part of the host network imposed by the operator's policy and resource criteria may include the following: the spectrum availability (e. G., Separate, or co-exist); Capacity / bandwidth availability (e. G., RF, and the core); Overhead criteria (e. G., The total available capacity vs. capacity ratio used); The presence of the back-off criteria (for example, material selection, handover (inter-system and within the system), the end); Treatment (whether a specific service / application is handled / routed); Prohibited processing (for example, what services / applications are prohibited); Grading (for example, how grading services that, for example, special discounts available for use outside of peak); Geographical boundaries (for example, define the areas or cells to contain); Time (e. G., Defining the time and day (s) for inclusion); Duration (for example, define the incremental assignment based on the time and geographical boundaries); The user equipment type.

DSA communication system may be enabled to request the spectrum resources based on the second network following: time (e.g., when the resource is requested); The necessary capacity / bandwidth; Processing (for example, which service is requested, including QoS); Geographic boundaries (e.g., where the service is requested); And duration (for example, if the resource is requested for how long).

In one embodiment, DSC communication that may be performed by the (910a, 910b) can be transparent to the secondary users. In other embodiments, the communication may not be transparent.

Figure 11 illustrates the DSA 1100, network element of a communication system according to an embodiment that uses the spectrum and traffic data may be processed by the second party, or spectrum information center. Mangoe component 1102 in DSA communication system may comprise a sub-component, such as DPC (902, shown in Figure 9). DPC (902) may communicate with the radio network 1 and the network 2 by wireless communication with the sub-elements of the core network (1104a, 1104b). Mangoe component 1102 may also use the Internet or a private network 106 to communicate with one or both networks. For example, mangoe component 1102 in DSA communication system may communicate with the core network 1104 via the network 2, while the Internet 106, which communicates directly with the core network (1104a) of the first network. Core network (1104a, 1104b) may include the sub-components, such as DSC (910), LTE, EVDO, HSPA and OMC / NMS (912a).

When a so lovable network 1 burden require additional spectrum resources, the core network (1104a) may request for the additional spectrum resources from mangoe component 1102 in DSA communication system to determine the need for a spectrum. Network 2 may determine that the resource has a spectrum of possible excess of their use due to the lower call traffic. Networks 2 may also report the availability of resources for the excess mangoe component 1102. The mangoe component communication between 1102 and network 2 of the DSA can be from the Internet 106. Alternatively, mangoe component 1102 and the second network can communicate directly, as shown by the dashed line 1106. Mangoe components of DSA (1102) there is to facilitate the allocation of the spectrum resources to the network from the first network 2, which is shown here by the dashed line 1108.

The wireless device (101b) may access the resources allocated by different methods. Network 1 may be used by directing the wireless device (101b) to the switch network to the second network, the assigned resources as a secondary user of the second network. Alternatively, the allocated resources of the network 2 is a radio device (101b) may be made available through the network 1 and makes it possible to use the resources of the network 2, without having to change the communication session to the network 2 from the network 1 have. For example, network 1, network 2 and network 3 are there to create a pool of spectrum that can be allocated for use by multiple objects.

12 illustrates the DSA of the network communication system 1200 according to the embodiment. DPC (902) may provide a master control in large arbitration process, providing several different networks. DPC (902) may include policies and time dependent arbitration rule large for the current allocation. DSC (910) may also be configured to have a local copy of the policy, and time dependent arbitration rule large for the current location. Local copy of the arbitration policy, and time-dependent rules can be large to ensure that there can be maintained, the local control of the network resources. In addition, DSC (910a to 910c) may be a separate platform, providing a boundary point in the future network operation and network operating system interface problem.

In one embodiment, in order to ensure disaster recovery of the system if there is an accident, DPC (902) is a two-part mirror, such as the server site (e.g., DPC (902a) and DPC (902b)) may be configured as a can be a distributed cluster geographically include several servers. To protect the network, DPC (902a, 902b) is in the in-defined and pre-authorization network operator (1204a, 1204b, 1204c) (for example, the spectral resource providers) and system resource requester (1206, 1208, 1210) (e. g., the bidder s) may be provided with a link to the guaranteed.

DPC (902a, 902b) and DSC (910a, 910b, 910c) in the case of a communication failure between, DSC (910a, 910b, 910c) is to maintain continuity on the arbitration large procedure described by DPC (902a, 902b) It may be configured to use the policy rules and the content stored in their local system. However, due to lack of connection to the DPC (902a, 902b), DSC (910a, 910b, 910c) can not facilitate the additional assignment or new resource bidding. To ensure that local control is always maintained, DSC (910a, 910b, 910c) are added to, it may be configured to ignore the components and features to control and local manner, the components and functions are earlier, the local operator end or the resource makes it possible to back-off from the secondary users.

For example, DSC (910a) may store a policy and rules in any communication DPC (902a, 902b) to the local system. Thus, DPC (902a, 902b) and DSC (910a) between the communication is the bid DPC (902a, 902b) in the by-treated after damage if, DSC (910a) is a secondary user to exit to need without continuously It can provide the resource to the second user (1206) of the first bidder. Additionally, when network A (1204) is to require more resources to provide services to their default user, DSC (910a) is based on the policies and rules of the DPC (902a, 902b) free the resources the off-loading of the second user of the network a can be controlled to a local manner.

In one embodiment, the procedures involved in the DSA communication system may be similar in all cases the flow. As shown in Figure 13a, there are a spectrum resource block (1300A) that they can be classified based on how it is used by the network. Resources for a given spectrum can be classified as the occupied resources, uncertain resources and available resources. The occupied resources are currently can accept resources in use by the carriers can not be allocated by the communication system DSA. Uncertain resources can provide a margin to operators to manage peak loads. Uncertain resources may be exhausted during the peak load and can not be used during the lower peak loads. Available resources may be a subset of resources that are not used at all by the network. Available resources can be made available for allocation for the other secondary providers.

In one embodiment, the spectrum resources may be allocated to the second user by different methods. Figure 13b illustrates the allocation of the spectrum resources of the spectrum block 1300, authorized by the host network, according to an embodiment. Host network may permit the RF spectrum blocks (1300a) comprising four channels. Host network may be the only three of the four channels of the RF spectrum blocks for use by the first network subscriber. The dedicated channel 1 and channel 2 is shaded in the RF spectrum block (1300b). As illustrated by the RF spectrum (1300b), the channel 4 may be left unspecified by the provider. Channel 3 has been partially assigned, in part by the transient and can be unspecified in part, which is the same as exemplified by the spectrum block (1300c). Transient part of the spectrum block (1300c) may be reserved for use during high traffic periods by the subscriber of the provider. The unspecified part of the licensed spectrum (1300c) are never used.

In one embodiment, the host network may permit the unspecified portion of a licensed spectrum to the second user using the second communication system DSA. In such a scenario, the host operator may enable all of the three channels of an unspecified portion, and channel 4 to the second user.

Figure 14 illustrates the allocation of the spectrum resources, including protection of the frequency channel, the licensed spectrum (1400) according to an embodiment. Licensed spectrum 1400 is arranged as a part of the spectrum policies and programs can be defined or aside by the operator. This protection may include a frequency of available resources remaining that are not currently used. Host network may be the available resources in the protection frequencies are used by the second user using a communication system DSA. Using the DSA, the host network may enable the use of frequency resources that are not protected by combination with a single use of the available channels (1402) for the protection frequency resource allocation.

Figure 15 illustrates the pooling and allocation of the spectrum resources of the host network that uses more than one, DSA communication system according to an embodiment. In an embodiment, DSA communication system to investigate the possible use of spectrum from different networks and may be configured to create the available spectrum for allocation with the pool. In an exemplary embodiment, as shown by the spectrum block (1), each host networks, network A and network B may each be allowed to block spectrum comprising four channels. For example, the licensed spectrum by the network block A (1502A) may comprise a channel 1A, channels 2A, 3A channel, and the channel 4A. Licensed spectrum block by the network B (1502B) may comprise a channel 1B, channel 2B, channel 3B, and the channel 4B.

In the spectrum block 2, the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the network spectrum block (1504A) of A may include a channel designated as available channels 3A 4A and in part. 3A is a channel may be specified as a part for use by the network, partially transition period, it may be used in part to the use by the other networks. Spectrum block (1504B) of the network B can include available channels and the channel 1B and 4B partially channel designated as 3B. 3B channel may be designated as a part for use by the network, partially transition period, it may be partially used as the assignment to the other networks.

Spectrum block In the illustrated exemplary embodiment by the (3), each of the spectrum block of the network A and network B (1506A, 1506B) may enable their resources using the DSA communication system. DSA communication system is to create a pool of available resources from each of the networks, and may allocate the resources for secondary use. For example, DSA communication system can make the pool of available resources in the channel 1B and 4B channel can be made available to the second user of the resource.

DSA communication system can make the pool of available resources from the network for different allocation to the second user. In the exemplary embodiment, as shown in spectrum block (4), DSA communication system is used from the channel 1B and channels 4B in the network A, spectrum block the channel in the (1508A) 4A, and network B, spectrum block (1508B) create a resource pool, and can be made available to the second user of the resource.

In the exemplary embodiment, as shown by the spectrum block (5), DSA communication system including a channel comprising a channel and the available resources having a resource which is completely dedicated for use by a network, the different networks It can be made to the pool of available resources from all of the channels in the. DSA communication system networks A, channels within a spectrum block (1510A) 3A and channel 4A, and the network B, the channel within the spectrum block (1510B) 1B, channel 3B, and be made to the pool of available resources from the channel 4B are two of the resource It can be made available to the primary user.

In an embodiment, DSA communication system may be enabled to utilize the spectrum capacity is not used MVNO. For example, DPC (902) may be preferred to aggregate a number of MONO to take advantage of unused capacity in the ranking scheme spectrum. This ensures that the MVNO enables to sell their capacity are not fully used or are not used MVNO of the other, therefore the amount MVNO is operating efficiently.

Figure 16a to Figure 16c illustrates the MVNO spectrum aggregation according to an embodiment. Figures 16a will indicate the capacity of the spectrum allocated for the MVNO or A (1602A), and MVNO B (1602B), wherein both operator may own the spectrum capacity is not specified. Figure 16b is illustrative represent a method according to an embodiment, DSA communication system by this method MVNO B (1604B) is increased or increase their available spectrum capacity by receiving an unspecified spectrum from MVNO A (1604A) It may enable that. Figure 16c may be made to represent a method according to exemplary embodiments, DSA communication system according to this method is it possible to one of the MVNO C (1606C) has received the additional spectral capacity from two MVNO (1606A, 1606B) have. MVNO C (1606C) may be a new or additional MVNO and may obtain a spectrum capacity is not specified, available from MVNO A (1606A), and MVNO B (1606B) for their potential use. In this scenario, MVNO A (1606A), and MVNO B (1606B) may not work, or not be able to operate on the same host carriers having a same radio access technology (RAT) or provided. In another embodiment, is provided with a conversion may provide access between the different RAT.

In one embodiment, to measure the amount of resources used by the second user, the host network is easily time / duration and the use metering prepaid user of the secondary use that can be made on the basis of the individual or global accounts are It may use a similar process to that used to make.

Used depending on the method used by the second user to access the resource, can be performed several DSA assignment method for the basic types are included: 1) a virtual-best effort method; 2) how the user of the virtual-secondary; And 3) the spectrum allocation method that may include allowing area and the local area allocated spectrum. Each of the allocation method may be provided with some modification. For example, the virtual can be configured in the best effort method, DSA communication system based on up to make available spectral resources to or locally, secondary authorized domain for full permission area. Orders of users can also be defined in the user of the wireless devices 101 by their home network provider and may receive the second user or specifying a best effort user status.

In one embodiment, the virtual-resources of a best effort method may be available to the MVNO via an access authorization to the associated network. The prioritization may occur within the host network PCRF based on the rule of the home network and a host network.

The best of the virtual - on the working method, the home network may be enabled to the second user of the wireless device 101 is used for, for example, arrangement of the MVNO type based on the same virtual network, but the network host. Different variant of this arrangement are there, and the like following situations: 1) the second user and the host network as a second user the second user, and 2) when using the host network with the same rights as the subscriber but the primary user ( host subscribers) may include the time to use the host network on the secondary base having a higher priority than the right and the second user subscriber. Priority access to the default user is the default user may be established in the network which are public safety users. During emergency situations, is the home network may discard the second user and other users, such as a secondary user may discard due to the increase in the use of their spectrum by the public safety user base.

Figure 17 illustrates a communication system of the communication system DSA 1700 for allocating resources in accordance with an embodiment. The virtual - on the best effort method, the wireless device 101 may be considered a legitimate macromer as shown in Fig.

During the bidding process, DSA communication system may implement a rule set, the rule set may be used to define the process and the duration of the service for the service type, the wireless device, the devices access to the host network It receives approval. The rule information is set, for example: 1) the capacity request / boundary; 2) processing services and QoS of services, such as if and when required; 3) the geographical boundary based on the requested service; 4) The time at which resources are requested; And 5) The requested resource can comprise a duration used by the second user. The rule that all or a subset of s is envisaged that the arbitration can be used depending on how large.

The virtual - on the best effort method, DSA communication system, access to the spectrum in the case that addresses the authentication process required that the wireless device requesting service may follow the industry roaming process in that it can be granted to the second user . The second user of the justification / authentication of wireless devices (101) may be performed in accordance with through the use of the HSS (926) and a host of standard AAA MAP / IS-41 process.

Additional criteria that DSA communication system can be added to the roaming process may include a different method claims. For example, a second access, or the total duration of use permission of the primary user of the wireless device 101 may be controlled by the host network. This control method makes it possible to control access of the second user to the host network and the local system in real time. The virtual - in a best effort way, DSA communications system can not reserve a resource it can only track the resource consumption.

The virtual - on the best effort manner, or existing host network providers, first to the secondary user, except through the distinction provided by the PCRF (905) and PGW (908) for providing the host network supplier ranking It can not be accepted. Virtual-to use a resource of the DSA communication system using a best effort way, the secondary user may use the PGW in the host network PGW (s) 908 or the second network, the latter of the host network connected to a suitable SGW (922) via an intermediate or can PGW (908) controlled by the host network, can be connected to the PGW in the host.

PGW flow according to the IP address is assigned, and rules from the PCRF for a wireless device (101) is responsible for QoS-based billing and enforcement. PGW is responsible for the filtering of the downlink user IP packets to different bearers based QoS-. This is done on the basis of the traffic flow template (TFT). PGW performs QoS enforcement for guaranteed bit rate (GBR) bearer. It can also act as a mobile anchor for interworking with a non--3GPP techniques, such as networks and CDMA2000 networks WiMAX®.

There all user IP packets may be delivered via the SGW, the SGW acts as a local mobile anchor for data bearer when the wireless device moves among the eNodeB. Includes a downlink packet buffering and initiation of the triggered service request, legal interception, UL / DL billing party accounting, and wireless device for user and QCI granules library tee-local mobile anchor point for the handover between the eNodeB network . SGW is for initiating paging of time ( "EPS -IDLE access control" also known as [ECM-IDLE]) holds information about the bearers and the MME for the wireless device to re-establish the bearer have to be in idle wireless device temporarily buffering the downlink data. Further, SGW are some visited network management, such as charging information and to perform the lawful interception for collecting (e.g., the user receives an amount of data sent to or from it). Also it can serve as an anchor for moving the other 3GPP technologies such as General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) and UMTS inter-working with.

The MME is a control node for processing a calling between a wireless device and a CN. The protocol operating between a wireless device and a CN are NAS protocol (eMM, eSM) and security, AS security, tracking area list management, PDN GW and S-GW selection, (LTE within and LTE-to) handover, certificates, bearer It is known as the management. The MME also includes a mechanism for handling and to avoid the overload condition.

eNodeB performs dynamic allocation to the radio resource management functions, such as radio bearer control, radio admission control, radio mobile control, scheduling, and the uplink and downlink resources of the wireless device. the eNodeB may be particularly carried out for small packets to help ensure efficient use, header compression points to the process of compressing the IP packet header of the wireless interface, such as VoIP, the headers may represent a significant overhead, otherwise have. The eNodeB may perform the security feature by ensuring that all of the data sent over the air interface is encrypted.

In one embodiment, the virtual-best effort method may be enabled by using the DSA method is a communication system that manages the different resource allocation. For example, PCRF (905) of the host network may control the secondary users of the wireless device (101) for access to a host network to track the use of the resources. The billing system of the host network may be used to charge the secondary user.

Alternatively, the billing system of the host network may be the control / tracking the use of resources by the second user, the second user of the home network PCRF (905) may provide that the priority service. In such a scenario, PCRF (905) of the home network may hold the final control.

Alternatively, the home network can be defined is that the priority service can provide access and PCRF (905) of a secondary user of the home network. Additionally, the hypothetical - may be as part of the allocation process using the best effort method, different TAI to be specified for the second user of the wireless device roaming in the home network. TAI can provide differential service area or a defined geographic area for potential use. In one embodiment, the wireless device of the subscriber may be allowed to access the home network through the PLMN ID having a legitimate in the USIM is provided via pre-programming or the OTA permission set (provisioning). The home network can be used to command the home network as the second user subscribers to different reasons. Additionally, if the wireless device 101 can simultaneously access two networks, wireless device 101 may potentially be used for the home network to the service of one of the types of command to use a home network to the other service It can be.

In one embodiment, the available resources are fictitious user-secondary method (for example, within the system (for example, my landlord frequency (Intra freq-lessor), or frequency within the main-tenant (Intra freq prime-lessee) for the use can be allocated to the second user. in the method of the virtual user-secondary, the primary host network has the second user of the second chamang have different rights object relative to the primary user, such as a lease on the fact, however, the different SID have, it is possible to operate using the system spectrum resources of the main network, which the spectrum allocation of the second users from the primary host network when there is a technical compatibility between the main network system and the second user of the wireless device 101 by having included can be achieved. this allocation can be applied to a mobile virtual network operator, the operator is one providing a mobile telephone service, the necessary infrastructure to provide mobile telephone service also their licensed frequency allocation for the radio spectrum also not provided.

In the method of the virtual-secondary user, the second user of the prioritization may take a PCRF (905) rule and PGW (908) rule of the host network. (S) PGW that can be used by a second wireless devices 101, 908 may be or may be controlled by the host network through the use of a secondary user of the home network. PGW (908) when the available through the secondary user of the home network, may be connected to a suitable SGW (922), may be provided through the medium PGW (908) controlled by the host network. In such a scenario, the second user may be considered to be legitimate in the macromer DSA-secondary user communication system using a method of the virtual As shown in Figure 17.

At-secondary user of a virtual method, DSA communication system may use the five fundamental bidding rules set, a set of rules are used to define the 101 treatment and duration of the service type, the second wireless device user . These rules are set information, such as: 1) a request doses / boundary; 2) that when services are required and processing of services such as QoS; 3) the geographical boundary based on the requested service; 4) The time at which resources are requested; And 5), the requested resources may include duration used by the second user, it is possible that other rule sets are applied. All or a subset of the rules is envisaged that the arbitration can be used depending on how large.

In one embodiment, when employing the method of the virtual-secondary user, if the authentication process is required to meet the predetermined host network may authorize access to the second user of the wireless device (101). Host network using the user-secondary method is a virtual method claims may use different access or use the total amount of the wireless devices 101 to be controlled by the rules and specifications for the host network, which is a secondary user device ( 101) should be controlled in a local manner. As the secondary users in the system, may access the wireless devices 101 to the host network may be limited, reduced or prohibited depending on the conditions of the host network. Restriction, reduction or prohibition may be imposed depending on the conditions indicated by the host within the network on the basis of the bidding system calls, local or system. This restriction, reduction or inhibition (e.g., in public safety network) may be dynamically performed by ignoring the bidding conditions.

Second authentication or justification of the wireless device user may be carried out according to the standard MAP / IS-41. Using the MAP / IS-41, may host HSS (926) and AAA is to authenticate the user of the second wireless device.

In one embodiment, when using the method of the virtual user-secondary, DSA communication system is different from components of the host network and / or the home network may be required to be used for resource allocation. For example, host network billing system and the PCRF (905) may control and track the use of the second user access to the network. Alternatively, the billing system is a control and / or the number and the home network PCRF (905) of the second user to keep track of use of the host network may provide that the priority service network PCRF (905) performs the final control can do. Alternatively, the host network that can provide network access on the home PCRF (905) is defined in a priority service.

When resources allocated using the method of user-secondary virtual il are time, user, or other criteria on the basis of almost exhausted condition, DPC (902) to the home network operator in the host network resources that may be due you can be notified. If allowed, the home network operator may be possible to provide additional by requesting the foreign bid for the resource 2 the resources available to primary user top-off or supplement, or alternatively additional RF spectrum resource in the host network, . To provide additional flexibility in the resource allocation process, different TAI may be assigned to the wireless device of the second user who is roaming to the network host. TAI may provide differential service areas or different geographic areas for potential use.

In one embodiment, the second user of the wireless device has access to the home network via the PLMN ID of the just that can be stored in the USIM. USIM may be provided with pre-programmed or OTA permission settings. When using the home network, the wireless device 101 of the second user may be redirected to the direction to search for the host network that can receive services. Once the host network is identified, the second wireless user device 101, or can use the host network for all services, the host can use the network service in one type. Additionally, the use of the host network may be for other services if it has the capability to the wireless device 101 to access two networks at the same time. Various configurations are possible and are within the scope of this disclosure.

Figure 18 illustrates a 1800 communication system block diagram showing the communication between two network components of the communication system for resource reservation in the DSA, according to an embodiment. In one embodiment, the configuration of the host network (that is, the lessor) can be controlled by the OMC (912). Additionally, the home network (that is, the tenant) 1802 may be separate from the host network 1804.

In one embodiment, the host network using the user-secondary method of virtual resources may be reserved by using different methods, including the following: 1) the eNodeB X- branch; 2) SGW and PGW link bandwidth; 3) a combined resource allocation (PGW and eNodeB); And 4) PCRF (host) control. This resource reservation method may be mutually exclusive depending on the combination process to the host or network requirements and bidding.

By an eNodeB X- branch, resources can be reserved for the second user. As in the exemplary embodiment, illustrated in Figure 19, eNodeB (916b) can be branched to reserve resources for the second user. eNodeB (916b) is PCRF (905), MME (914) and to receive a branch directive from the SGW (922), has its own resources can be divided when the rate that can be used in the other PLMN networks. PGW (908) may be located in the host network may be remotely located. According to the received directive, eNodeB (916b) may schedule the Y% of the resources for use by the X% of the resources for the use of the primary user and the secondary user. eNodeB (916b) may send the enhanced PLMH (ePLMN) that can be recognized on the secondary user wireless device (101b) can be held call for the call.

In one embodiment, the resources may also be reserved through the control of the connectivity between the secondary user of the wireless device SGW (922) and PGW (908) is specified.

Figure 20 illustrates a method according to an embodiment for controlling the SGW (922) and PGW (908a, 908b) link bandwidth allocation method according to an embodiment. Resource reservation can be controlled by controlling the host SGW (922) connectivity to various PGW (908a, 908b). PGW host SGW (922) for connectivity (908a, 908b) can be dynamically controlled by the changing of the available bandwidth between the SGW (922) and PGW (908a, 908b). PGW (908a, 908b) may be a local and / or remote to the host network. SGW (922) and PGW (908) link bandwidth can be changed through the OMC / NMS (912) which can be connected to the DSC (910). PGW (908a) may be located on a remote host or network.

In one embodiment, as illustrated in Figure 21, the resources can be reserved for allocation purposes by combining the bandwidth control method eNodeB X- branch ALC-SGW PGW link.

In one embodiment, the host PCRF (905) may control the resource reservation for the allocation to the second user. Host PCRF (905) may be on the basis of the service request by using the QCI / ARQ combination which may be a automatic repeat request ARQ prioritize on the secondary user wireless device 101. In this scenario, PCRF (905) is able to specify QCI / ARQ to the primary user of the wireless device (101a) and a secondary user of the wireless device (101b).

In one embodiment, RF spectrum allocation method can be used to make them available to allocate resources. Spectrum assignment method (for example, inter-system (frequency-to-landlord, inter-frequency main-tenant)), the primary network may be specified spectrum resource for use by the second user in the geographical area. Based on this, the second network provider may make available a channel / spectrum in their normal operation of the basic network, network resources (e.g., which may be compatible or IRAT). This also can be applied to the MVNO. Thus, the second user may have access to the basic network resources without the need to roam on their home network and the basic access.

Spectrum allocation method includes: a) an authorized domain; Or b) it may be based on geographic region. In the regional area and permitted method of spectrum allocation, a spectrum available for use by primary network provider operator (for example, the landlord or the network 1) is programmable through the OMC / NMS (912). Spectrum allocation method enables the time, and the secondary user host network the desired bandwidth, the second user of the geographical boundary, the second user requests a resource on the basis of the duration of time that a request for a resource allocation to the spectral can do.

In one embodiment, the spectrum allocation is the spectrum resources can be made available to the second user dynamically. Billing process for the spectrum allocation may not involve the use of a host or visited network billing platforms. Instead, the DPC (902) to adjust the charge on this effort.

The virtual-contrast with the best efforts-secondary or user of a virtual method, the spectrum allocation is the home network operator (network 2) using the resources allocated to the second user of the wireless device 101 and the resources assigned there may be enabled to do not share the primary host network. Therefore, the allocated spectrum resources may be used by the second user during the rental duration. The second user of the home network may also be possible to control the allocated resources for a lease duration to use their wireless access network node (102).

Illustrates an embodiment for allocating the area 2300, the spectrum resources licensed Figure 23a and Figure 23b are using the spectrum allocation. When allocating the area 2300 permits the spectrum resources, the base hose network may allocate resources defined amount of spectrum used by a secondary user home network. Second, each network operator of the home network may be granted the use of the allocated spectrum for the geographic area defined by the licensed. As illustrated in Figure 23a, the spectrum authorization block 2300, may belong to a particular permitted area 2300.

Permission region spectrum allocation may involve splitting the spectrum block 2302 that may be used for the entire permission region. Division may be by a variety of different channels, a shared channel, or carried out by another method. As shown in Figure 23b, the spectrum block 2302 may be divided to provide a channel (2304d) for the three channels (2304a, 2304b, 2304c) for use by the primary user and the rental .

Figure 24 illustrates an embodiment for allocating the spectral resource by using a spectrum allocation method in the local area. The local area spectrum allocation may involve the assignment of spectrum in the permission region 2300 defined on the host network. Primary host network may be assigned to a certain geographical area defined. This area abuts with the second user who can use the resource of the allocated spectrum. Therefore, given a geographical area for use of the allocated resource may be a sub-zone of the total licensed operators region 2300 having access to the spectrum. Host network (eg, renters) can deliver them for use by other operators in the second temporary rent, sell, option, or otherwise geographically defined sub-region resources. This may be booked for use of a geographical area for the lease of the primary host to the secondary Mandelieu other operators or for use by the primary user.

Single resource allocation may be defined for the available in the permission region 2300 of the operator. For example, channel 4 (2302d) it may be allowed to the secondary user a successful bidder for the area A (2402) via the communication system DSA. 4, the same channel may also be permitted to the other secondary users bidder for the area B (2404). In area A (2402) and region B (2404) outside the complete spectrum (channel 1 to channel 4) (2302) it may be used by the underlying network. In area A (2402) and region B (2404), channel 1 to channel 3 (2302a, 2302b, 2302c) may be used by the primary network operator. In area A (2402) and region B (2404), the primary user can not use the channel 4 are allowed to the second network provider (2302d). For example, it may be a bidder for the resources involved in a number of different contracts between the spectrum or the transmission spectrum of different ways, including rental, purchase, options, trading, the pool.

Once used if available resources are allocated, the resource may be accessed on the basis of different methods. Spectrum access methods may be dependent on the allocation method used by the network providing the resource. In general, the spectrum access methods roaming method and a non-can be divided into two categories of a roaming method. When resources are accessed on the basis of the roaming method, the second user of the wireless device 101 may be necessary to use the available resources by the roaming network of the above base. Resources to non-it may be allowed that when accessed on the basis of the locking method, the second user of the wireless device 101 remains on its home network while using the allocated resources.

Figure 25a and Figure 25b are two network diagram illustrating an access to the resources using roaming arranged to use the two networks to represent the Fig., The resources of the wireless device 101 is another network in accordance with an embodiment The illustrated. As illustrated in Figure 25a, the wireless device 101 can use the spectrum of the current network 1. Network 1 may transmit that additional spectral resources may be necessary to continue the service for the wireless device 101, the DPC (902). DPC (902) may also receive information from the network 2 can be provided with additional or excess spectrum resources are resources may be assigned for use by the wireless device 101 from the other networks.

As illustrated in Figure 25b, when on the basis of the service, time and / or geographical location that is used, the network 2 is that it is provided with a spectrum for allocation once DPC (902) a confirmation, the wireless device 101 network operators It may be instructed to switch from one to two networks.

In one embodiment, it can be a secondary user of the network provider is licensed or lease the rights to use the spectral resources allocated by the base network. In such a scenario, the second user device 101 it may not be necessary to the roaming networks on the base in order to use the allocated spectrum resources. The second user device 101 may remain on the second home network, the network can make it possible to use the resources of the main network via a second network access point on the basis of the permit conditions.

Figure 26a and Figure 26b illustrates a further method that uses the short-term spectrum assignment of resources for rent according to the embodiment. Available spectrum is permitted area, the sub-lease may be in other Mandelieu by employing the license on the basis of the area or the individual nodes, DSA communication system by the cell site. DSA communication system may be based on the geographic area, and this boundary is determined to create a lease the spectrum made available for secondary use through the other network. In one embodiment, the second user may access the allocated spectrum of the host network, without having to switch and via their second chamang of the host network.

Figure 26a illustrates a radio access node (102a) and a wireless device 101 communicating in the network 1. Network 1 may have a net 2 and a license agreement to use the fixed block of the spectrum of the two networks. In such a scenario, when the spectrum resources of the network 1 is exhausted it requires additional resources, the network 1 can be used for the secondary spectrum resources licensed to communicate with the wireless device 101 of the subscriber. Figure 26b illustrates a wireless device 101 that communicate with the network 1 using the licensed spectrum resources of the second network 2.

Authorization for spectrum resources can improve the capacity of the network as illustrated in Figure 27a and Figure 27b. As shown in Figure 27a, the network provider A may be provided to the wireless device 101 via the geographic location to the wireless access points depend on different (102a, 102b, 102c) of the wireless device (101). Wireless access points (102a, 102b, 102c) may be provided to the wireless device 101 by using the spectral resource from the network provider A.

Due to increased traffic, the network provider A may require additional spectrum resources in order to provide appropriate to his subscriber. A network provider may permit the spectral resource from the network provider B in order to improve themselves in the available spectrum resources and increase or lease. As it illustrated in Figure 27b, the spectrum provider capacity increase of A can be achieved through shared use of the wireless access platform with provider B. In such a scenario, the wireless access point (102a, 102b, 102c) may broadcast the spectrum signals received from both the provider and the provider A B.

The initial cell selection

Cell selection or generation may involve a situation in which the wireless device 101 of one of the networks specified in the other direction to network access to additional resources available on the new network. At present, the wireless device 101 is programmed to establish the correct connection and Mandelieu for receiving a service. In order to find the correct network, once the wireless device 101 is a power-on when, may search for a wireless carrier to be applied priority PLMN, with priority roaming list (PRL), and the device is to be used with. The PLMN / PRL list, and wireless carriers may be provided for the wireless device. The PLMN / PRL list can include a PLMN ID of an authorized networks and operators in the rank order.

Because DSA communication system to provide dynamic and real-time access to the spectrum resource, when using the DSA system, the spectrum resources may be available in Mandelieu not listed on the PLMN / PRL of the wireless device.

As part of the DSA process communication system, the wireless device 101 it may be pre-programmed with the appropriate PLMN list. Further, the wireless device 101 may also be set on the second home network OTA access. The OTA permission set can provide a directive to the wireless device in one or a group to re-initiate the cell selection process has a list of the updated PLMN (101).

Alternatively, the wireless device 101 may be configured with a client application, the application is enabled to, on receipt of the WAP / SMS message, the wireless device 101 browses the use made possible PLMN in the DSA process do.

Some methods may be used to access the resources available on a different network allows the wireless device. DSA in a communication system, at least two types of networks or systems source: there is a virtual or existing networks. Virtual networks may include networks that take advantage of the RAN of the base. When the wireless device 101 may need to access the virtual network, the emergency call may need to be adjusted and other characteristics and requirements for the controlled terms (e.g., 911 calls) mentioned.

To connect to the virtual network, DPC (902) of the primary network may control access of the second user of the wireless device 101 and RF spectrum resources, and the second user to have access to the subscriber record in the primary system macromer above basic mans as it can appear. The second user of the wireless device 101 may use the list of the networks in priority for access to the virtual network.

Alternatively, when generating, using the existing network, the wireless device 101 of the second user can achieve a cell selection based on the priority list for Mandelieu DSA participating in the communication system. Once the second user of the wireless device 101 is authenticated, DPC (902) of the primary host network may justify the second user access to the resources of the above basic network. If that is not successful, the authentication or justification, via a client in the primary user of the DPC (902) that requests the second wireless device 101 by sending this device can be regenerated to the appropriate system.

The wireless device 101 may include the USIM. USIM may be a single or double USIM. Important information, such as data you need to select the correct network can be stored in the USIM. By using the USIM, the wireless device 101 may be capable of not using the PLMN anymore. USIM is home IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) thereon (HPLMN), may store information such as the priority lists, and the forbidden PLMN list for the VPLMN allowed.

When the wireless device 101 uses a dual USIM, it may be possible to immediately access to spectrum resources available in alternative networks. Additional double USIM is, a multi-band, multi-mode wireless device 101 may be enabled to access a variety of networks that use the standard and roaming arrangement in a DSA.

Figure 28 illustrates a method 2800 according to an embodiment of the network and the cell initiated by the wireless device 101 within the DSA system. The initial cell selection of a network and can start with the device when the wireless device 101 is a power-on or attempts to re-establish the connectivity (block 2802). The wireless device 101 to navigate through the PLMN / PRL is stored in the device in the initial, and (block 2804), receiving the strength of cell site stations near, the read and can select a cell by determining (block 2806) .

Wireless device 101 reads the cell site broadcast channel, it can be determined whether there is a cell site of the right system (decision 2808). Wireless device 101 may establish a connection to the best cell sites available for selection and others. To identify the best available cell site, the wireless device 101 to which cells are utilized on the basis of access technologies to determine whether the best neighboring cells can be measured.

If initially, the suitable cell is not available (i.e., determination 2808 = "No"), the wireless device 101 may be any of a cell selection procedure / step, for by selecting a next PLMN / PRL List It may continue to search for a cell site, may search until it reaches the site to allow normal access according to the access protocol in a suitable PLMN list (block 2810).

If the correct system available through the selected cell site (i.e., determination 2808 = "Yes"), the wireless device 101 receives the system information block (SIB) / master information block (MIB) transmitted by the selected cell site, and it can be read out (block 2812). SIB / MIB may include information about the services available over the network and the network which is provided by the cell site.

An embodiment in, SIB / MIB includes a plurality of information, such as PLMN ID (s), a cell ID, the traffic allocation identifier (TAI) (routing area), LTE neighbor list, LTE non-system sites, GSM ssisel, UMTS cell, and It may include a CDMA cell. This information can be used by the different purposes of the wireless device (101). For example, when the wireless device 101 moves from the eNodeB to the eNodeB, can be used to change the SIB / MIB information sent from the eNodeB to determine if the new generation in a serving eNodeB. To detect a change in the eNodeB, the wireless device 101 can identify a change in SIB / MIB information, which may include a change in the TAI and is also available PLMN parameter. TAI defines a particular routing area which can be used to add a geographical area that can be used to fix the resource is available to the wireless device (101).

SIB / MIB information may be transmitted to the cell site by the network. The cell site can receive the network information via the HSS (926) of the network. By the way, the data transmitted via the SIB, HSS (926) of the network, also provide information on whether the wireless device 101 is available for any PGW (s) 908 to access the resources of the upper net can do.

SIB / has the MIB during the read, the wireless device 101 can determine the required re-selection (decision block 2814). If some selectivity are not required (that is, decision block 2814 = "Yes"), the wireless device 101 may connect to hold on the cell channel (block 2816). If necessary, the system re-selection (that is, decision block 2814 = "No"), the wireless device 101 may be indicated on the basis of the cell selection / re-selection process to select a new call or a system.

During the hold on the selected access cell site, the wireless device 101 may receive the additional information and Directives, such as an updated list of PLMN / PRL with the OTA from the selected network. The wireless device 101 may also continue to monitor the SIB / MIB for any changes or additional information.

In one embodiment, SIB / MIB is that which can provide a second access layer, this layer is based on a DSA process which channels reselection process the wireless device 101, if it can be used for access via the determined It may enable. SIB / MIB may also be enabled to try to by reselecting the pending connection being a wireless device 101, other radio access technology (IRAT), including the data obtained on the control channel a new wireless access terminal (RAT) have. Information in the SIB / MIB is therefore, may be used to indicate that the wireless device 101 to reselect another RAT, the RAT is associated with the same or other networks that may be on a different frequency band.

Cell re-selection that can trigger PLMN selection may be controlled through the particular parameter. For example, it may be to try to DSA communication system by employing a Forbidden PLMN-id to prevent the wireless device 101 using the resources of a network to a roaming network on the other. For example, DSA communication system roaming to the home network 2 again, the second, or to establish a connection with the network, primary user of the wireless device 101 can prevent the use of resources of the main network host. Similarly, OTA in, client activation is, or double USIM drive that PLMN id prioritization scheme to use for DSA communication systems are also wireless device 101 is a network of resources to use for the prevention to the other network and There can be a re-establishing the connection which is allowed until the DSA communication system rules.

In one embodiment, the wireless connection on hold device 101 are at the cell site may be directed to perform the call re-selection when the current capacity of the cell reaches a predetermined level. In such a scenario, to OMC (912) of the currently pending access network of the DSC (910) that uses includes a directive for the wireless device 101 pending connection to perform the search for call reselection and other TAI, or system It can change the SIB / MIB of the current network. Directive to perform a cell re-selection can also be forwarded to wireless device 101 by the WAP / SMA message.

Figure 29 also illustrates a network according to an embodiment for call reselection to use the change in the TAI. When using the network, a different wireless device 101 may be designated for different TAI depending on their particular application and device type. For example, the network may specify a TAI to DSA communication system user. Network may also specify the devices that do not use another communication system DSA TAI. The benefit of using a large number of TAI and layered may be enabled to selectively align the TAI using specified traffic networks. A plurality of and additional TAI layered is, be provided with the correct PLMN-id but TAI specified network is possible to prevent selecting a wireless device 101 that are not expected to use the selected area is a cell that It can be made, but may be forced to be denied service or cell reselection.

In one embodiment, the special client that allows DSA is provided on the wireless device (101) compatible with a communication system, which system and RAT that is to determine a wireless device (101) whether the expected to use secondarily can do. There PLMN / PRL list of the client application can be updated by receiving an SMS or WAP, which may be transmitted to the handset via the data or (IP) session over a text message. The updated client applications that the wireless device 101 may be directed to go to the proper channel for access to the resources allocated in the primary network.

It may facilitate the implementation of the secondary channel is capable DSA access communication system in the legacy network or not, and system that can own (for example, phosphorus load in software) that allows client applications to use the definitions in the SIB.

In the idle mode, the wireless device 101 may be instructed to perform the inter-frequency and the measurement frequency in the cell reselection process. Using the information from the client application or in the SIB / MIB, can perform the wireless device 101 is within the search frequency, inter-frequency, or iRAT. This process can be controlled by the UTRAN. Inter-frequency measurement, and frequency or within iRAT is depending on the configuration of the wireless device 101, it may be based on the area or cell / sector.

Secondary user authentication of the wireless device

Once the wireless device 101 selects the appropriate cell site and prior to entering the idle mode, the wireless device may be necessary where it is authenticated by the system, the pending connection. It requires a justification and authentication of a selected network the wireless device 101, in order to ensure that the device is owned by a permission to gain access to the network.

DSA communication system using different methods may authenticate the wireless device (101). Authentication of the wireless device using the DSA may be dependent on business agreements between different providers and a DSA system. For example, authentication may be based on general or prioritization level. The authentication process may be followed to use the DPC (902) HSS (904) as an anchor, which can be accessed by the AAA / authentication station (AuC) of the 3G / 2.5G networks of the PCRF (904) in LTE or similar platform have. The host network may authorize the second user using the standard MAP / IS-41 origination.

At the time of authentication, you can receive the respective participant specifying the following: (a) a defined level of use allow for the host network; The duration allowed for the system; Purchase-type (e.g., a wholesale or multiple IMI); HSS will allow the re-orientation of the incoming call; They will continue to rely on if the application is accessible from the back-end server.

Monitoring and tracking of assigned resources

DSA communication system includes the appropriate resources to the primary network provider manages the basic network providers (e.g., networks 2) on the traffic. Therefore, depending on the amount of traffic, DSA communication system may dynamically the available spectrum / capacity available to the second user can change based on and / or in real-time statistic.

For example, in the peak time, the call traffic can be increased in the main chain. When a call from the primary network traffic to increase, DSA communication system can reduce the amount of available spectrum used for the assignment for the second user in order to ensure that it is the primary user having the appropriate resources.

DSA communication system is based on different factors, including the user's level, the spectrum is time and geographic location of the user may be used to manage the allocation of and access to resources. In one embodiment, for the basic networks secondary access a disaster, emergency, secondary responders or when associated with certain accident such as public security, DSA communication system using a different prioritization 2 of the base system It can be used to manage the car. For example, the second time the user is a first responder that is using the default network resources, DSA communication system even for the damage of the underlying network user, first the call is to occur successfully assigned to the second user by the base network resources there can be an increase or maintain.

In one embodiment, the use of spectrum resources in a network according to the second user can be managed and controlled by different components of DSA communication system, such as DPC (902). For example, DPC (902) of the primary network may monitor the use of spectrum resources allocated in order to ensure suitable if steps are taken in the allocated resources are not available to or more secondary user when depleted.

DSC (910) of the primary network may be of a wireless device (101) to monitor or receive data on the traffic level associated with the primary network is operating as a secondary user. DSC (910) is added to, by degradation of the resources, close the connection of the second user re-direction to the second user when making by or basic network capacity threshold is reached so as to (e. G., Off-road) to another carrier or channel set It may be configured by a second user to specify the off load.

DSC (910) of the primary network may also inform the DPC (902) when the required off-loading of the second user. For example, an unexpected surge in the default caller DSC 2 causes the primary user 910 may be asked to be off-loaded to make it possible to use the resources for the default user. Second, when the user of the off-loading is started, a technical access parameters may be sent OTA to the wireless device (101). Alternatively, the system may dynamically assign resources via the LTE using the X2 link, the link indicates that the wireless device (101) defined on the hand-over to the new LTE network.

Secondary user of offloading the second user of the own network, and to terminate other provider networks or to redirect the direction for the second user of the connection back to the channel or the second user in connection with a primary provider network It may include. For example,, DPC is to determine use whether to other networks reassigned direction a connection of the second user in place of the end when it is necessary to shut down the secondary users due to the increased requirements for the underlying host network underlying network It can be configured. DPC (902) may contact a resource from a DSC (910) of the other network. If the resource is available for use in other networks, DPC (902) that uses a set of rules may determine the most cost-effective connection with another host networks to meet the resource requirements requested. Once the DPC (902) a second user wireless device 101 is not identify another host networks that may be reassigned direction, DPC (902) includes a communication session for wireless device 101, for indicating a transition to a new host network can do. The second user of the off-loading process may include a hand-over, or back-off process will be explained in further detail below.

In a further exemplary embodiment, be configured DPC (902) of the host network will also be instructed to turn back the underlying host network the second user wireless device 101 to the secondary home network after the use of the default network resources is completed can. DPC (902) may be configured to add, if additional capacity is to DPC (902) is determined to be required for use by the primary user to terminate the connection with the second user of the basic network.

If there is sufficient capacity available, DPC (902) it is can be forced to use the resources of the primary home network the secondary user continues, which require additional actions by the amount of traffic to the primary host network based on the rule set when you are up to.

In various embodiments, DSA may manage the use of the addition, the access and the allocated spectrum. For example, DSA communication system may manage the use of the RF spectrum of the host network by employing a back-off mechanism. When the host spectrum networks accessible by the high priority users, the spectrum can be eliminated the lower priority users to make use of the spectrum available to high priority users.

Figure 30 illustrates a network architecture, Fig. (3000) for monitoring and tracking of the spectrum used in accordance with one embodiment. Tracking and monitoring of the use of spectral resources may be performed using a different method. Imaginary-DSA in a communication system using a best effort resource allocation method, DSC (910) may monitor the use of the spectrum resources on the basis of the billing information and the communication network has a base arranged pre-charge platform.

DSC (910) is used to monitor the level of the group and may also track the level of use has a PGW (908). Use can be monitored and compared to those who expect or somewhat successful bid. Once the pre-the amount of the allocation defined resources used by the second user, DSC (910) of the base network is by generating a notification that the resource reaches a critical low level through the DPC (902) that secondary It may be configured to send to the network provider. The secondary user may receive the notification via their DSC (910). On receipt of this notification, the second network provider user can re-bid the additional resources, the resources that can be sseuyige simply remain.

In the case that the second user when the allocated resource to be completely consumed using the default network actively, basic networks are based on a negotiated agreement before the second user of the wireless device 101 of the home network (the second user to reconnect to the network provider), or terminate the access of the wireless device, or may charge the over-supply or additional cost for the secondary network. The connecting end, the second user of the wireless device, if additional resources are not allocated to the second user can have access to the primary network.

In the communication system using a DSA-secondary user of a virtual method, DSC (910) has a primary host network billing platforms it can be monitored by the use of basic resources allocated to communication charge information, and pre-arranged. The process of monitoring the use of the allocated resources on the basis of the user of the virtual-secondary method is to monitor the level of use for the group, and may also involve the use of a tracking level has a PGW (908).

Hypothetical - similar to the DSA communication system using a best effort way that, by a DSA-secondary user communication system using a method of the virtual volume is compared to the resources allocated for the use, to the second user network provider the use can be monitored. Once the resources assigned in the preset amount that is used by the second user, DSC (910) of the base network is by generating a notification that the resource reaches a critical low level it through the DPC (902) the secondary It may be configured to send to the network provider. The secondary user may receive the notification via their DSC (910). On receipt of this notification, the second network provider user can re-bid the additional resources, the resources that can be sseuyige simply remain.

In the communication system using the DSA-secondary user of a virtual method after the allocated resources have been used up, the second user by different methods as discussed below, for example, 1) a non-prioritization back-off , or 2) prioritization bag-may be terminated by off.

Non prioritization back-off in the way, when the spectrum resources are allocated in a predetermined consumption levels, any additional use can also be allowed. Once the allocated spectrum resources are used up, the primary network DSC (910) is based on a negotiated agreement before the secondary connection to the user of the wireless device to the second user of the home network, or the default network of a secondary user of the wireless device to terminate a connection with, or may be directed to charging the over-supply. Upon return from the primary network, the secondary user of a wireless device if additional resources are not obtained by the secondary home network provider can have access to the primary network.

In the prioritization back off method, when the allocated spectrum resources will be in the critical low level and the resources are fully before consumption, the primary network is another wireless device (101) of the underlying networks secondary user for the network you can start the process off-white that can be placed on top. If not, other suitable networks are secondary user is available to accept the wireless device 101, and the primary network is a secondary user of the wireless device 101, the second user can be handed over back to the home network have. Primary network may believe this secondary network for any resources allocated are not used by a secondary user.

When using a resource allocation method, the primary host network may monitor the resources the resources are made different depending on whether the assignment on the basis of the permission area or local area allocation method.

If the allocation of resources performed on the basis of the permission region method, the primary network may monitor the resource used by the second user. If resources have nearly reached assigned, DSC (910) / DPC (902) is to the second network to bidding and purchasing for the additional resources to notify that a temporary lease of the resources about to expire a second user network It may provide an opportunity.

If the secondary network is to acquire additional resources fail or refuse, basic networks are different methods, such as: 1) a non-prioritization back-off, or 2) using a prioritization method to terminate the secondary user It can be off-base or back from the network.

Non prioritization back-off in the way, when the expiration of the lease resources, spectrum resources may not be available anymore to the second user. Primary network may instruct the user of the second wireless devices 101 in order to terminate the handover, or use them for other wireless access systems within their networks.

Prioritization back-off method in, DSC (910) / DPC (902) of the primary network may adjust the DSC (910) and resources of the second network for the affected site. The second network may attempt to handover the radio network of the second user in a different network, a base station, the affected radio access channel or the system for the zone. Primary network may believe the second network for that allocated resources are not used.

If the resource allocation is performed on the basis of the local region method, the primary network may monitor the resource used by the second user. If the expiration of the allocated resources, and virtually complete pre-determined level, DSC (910) / DPC (902) of the primary host network may be notified to the second home network to the imminent end of the resources. Primary network may offer a chance to the second network to re-bid for the additional resources.

If the secondary network is to acquire additional resources fail or refuse, basic networks are different methods, such as: 1) a non-prioritization back-off, or 2) using a prioritization method to terminate the secondary user It can be off-base or back from the network.

Non prioritization back-off in the way, when the rental period expires for the assigned resource, the second user can no longer access the spectrum resources of the main network. Primary network may be the second hand the user to a different wireless access systems within their networks with a host network or other mangil over or shut down the second user access to the basic network resources.

Prioritization back-off method, the primary network of the DSC (910) / DPC (902) and the secondary network of the DSC (910) is affected sites and resources for adjustment to the allocated resources of the lease expires, it is before the back- It may initiate the process off. The second network may attempt to handover the radio network of the second user in a different network, a base station, the affected radio access channel or the system for the zone. Primary network may believe the second network for that allocated resources are not used.

Off-loading the second user of the hand-over while

In an embodiment, DSA communication system may employ a hand-over method to maintain the wireless devices (101), DSA communication system and / or communication session to prevent a break between the network providers. For example, the communication session may include the wireless device 101 to establish a connection with the network. Handover may take place when the connection is moved to the home network during the re-home network from the network host to the communication session and one gigon of the wireless device (101). Generated by the network SIB / MIB may include a cell and a list of connecting network can be used to hand-over the communications session.

DSA communication system external to the mobile assisted Steed handover (mobile assisted handover) has better server is available, that the wireless device 101, the service network to inform that one and connected to the current server from the better the server to change the It may involve. This hosted mobile assisted handover may be performed when the wireless device on the host network when roaming. However, DSA ve communication system can allow these mobile assisted handover Steed, because the server has the best roaming purposes may not be the most optimal cell for capacity relief. DSA communication session with the communication system may involve a circuit switched or a packet switched service.

Figure 31 illustrates a network element of the network according to an embodiment capable of performing a handover of a communication session. For implementing handover of a communication session, there may be a constant connectivity between the host network and the home network (e.g., network A and network B) components. For example, it may be PGW (908) of the host network and the home network are connected. PGW (908) of the host network and the home network may communicate through a private data network or over the Internet. PGW (908) of the host may also be connected to the SGW (922) of the home network. ANDSF of the host network and the home network 918 is a wireless device also when there is a need to move to the home network from the host to allow a handover to the legacy systems, back-up can be connected to cause the off-course.

ANDSF may be used to access these information stored in the wireless device to manage the move from system policy support service (provisioning) of the network discovery information from the ANDSF. ANDSF may initiate the delivery of information to the wireless device from the ANDSF, as specified in 3GPP TS 24.302 [3AA].

Figure 32 illustrates a network according to an embodiment of the method also for media independent handover. Through a DSA process, ANDSF is to wireless device 101, the gap or non-a SMS / WAP message indicating handover to the gap to initiate a handover by sending to the device. The handover procedure can be initiated under different circumstances and different reasons. For example, based on a contract history between the network host network and the home network, based on that level and the resources of the resource in the host network reach a predetermined threshold in advance, on the basis of the rental by the home network that is used up resources or the back-off based on whether the process is initiated may initiate a handover process.

Host resources or the back when it is not available for a longer use-time starts to be off course, DSA communication system may employ the additional component, or method to handover a communication session. In such a scenario, the eNodeB of the host network on the basis of the back-QCI and ARP named-off process can be performed. eNodeB (916) back-off may be through the use of the X2 link between the networks to exchange it involves hand-over to another eNodeB the current communication session from the host eNodeB (916). This process can also be achieved using the process have a DSMPTA ANDSF.

For initiating and implementing a handover process, the host network may be sent to the wireless device 101 by generating a predetermined command. For example, three different types of handover are 1) inter-frequency; 2) within the frequency; And 3) a IRAT.

In handover between frequencies, the current network (e. G., Current network) for serving the wireless device 101 may initiate a handover of the current wireless device 101 to other networks from the network. At a frequency within the handover, the current network may initiate a handover to another cell of the same wireless device in the network 101 from a cell within a network for off-road performance. In the IRAT handover, the current network may initiate the wireless device 101 is handed over to another RAT.

Inter-frequency handover may be initiated when sending this directive current network to a secondary user of the wireless device 101 to begin to use the resources of other networks. For example, wireless device 101 over the home network may be instructed to use the host network to the large file upload / download.

Inter-frequency handover may be based on a policy determined in operation be used to off-load the second user from the host network. Additionally a frequency handover between the wireless device 101 may be used no longer needed to use the service in the host network as a secondary user therefore is able to be sent back to the home network. A frequency-to additional handover, the wireless device 101 leaving the DSA communication system or a cell cluster region can be used when it is necessary to continue the communication session. In such a scenario, the wireless device 101 may be sent back to the delivery or the home network to another network / cluster. The inter-frequency handover is further, some basic user may be used for the different networks by making use of the service user as a secondary time alleviate the network capacity constraint.

Within the hand-over frequency it can be used in the current network to relieve call congestion by reducing the inter-cell traffic. In order to avoid ping-pong effects can be prevented to solve the capacity problem, the frequency within the handover command as shown in phase while the wireless device 101 is a defined time period, PLMN / PRL list, using the neighboring cell / sector It can be banned.

IRAT handover may be used to redirect the direction of the wireless device 101 to a different RAT. During IRAT handovers between, it can be a wireless access technology and frequency of operation changes. Handover of this type may be used when the communication system is possible, and the DSA wireless device 101 is operating on a particular channel on initial use. Currently the network may be instructed via the IRAT handover process to the wireless device 101 to change to a different RAT. In one embodiment, the handover command may be initiated from the current network, alternatively, the handover command may be initiated from the different objects or networks. Thus, if wireless device 101 is a communication session to be cut off during the handover procedure, the wireless device 101 may be re-established to the target RAT of the communication session and again back to the previous network.

One of the non-limiting embodiment, the session may be lost during the handover within the inter-frequency and / or frequency. In this embodiment, the device can re-establish the connection again by going back to the previous network.

Figure 33 illustrates a network element of a system according to an embodiment required to initiate the hand-over network as part of the DSA process. The handover procedure can be initiated by a DSC (910) on the basis of a rule set which is established during a previous auction or bidding process. Use of the ANDSF (918) may be enabled within a frequency between and IRAT handover frequency for generating a maximum flexibility.

Back of the second user from the host network-off

DPC (902) may ensure that continuously monitors the host to network resources, a sufficient level of resources available for use by the primary user of the host network. When the amount of resources available on the host network reaches a pre-defined threshold, the host network is the back of the second user to the wireless device (101) may be instructed to start the process off. The back-off process can be initiated in order to free resources on the host network.

When it is necessary resources become available to the users or subscribers of the basic network, DSA is the back of the second user in order to free additional resources can be started off. Back-off procedure may involve a different method, or a combination depending on the DSA configuration. However, the back-any special flags, active and decision, the policy for the order to whom and to reduce the traffic to redirect the direction of idle traffic associated with the wireless device 101, the type and the device of commonality off policy the through activating the crystal, OTA or a client application performed by using the material provided.

In an embodiment, DSA communication system back can be configured to employ a (the same as described in detail described above for FIG. 1 to FIG. 8) at the start of TPA-off process. For example, the back-off process can be initiated when it reaches the predetermined threshold level with a resource level can be customized. The threshold detection process may include that determines whether the RAN and core network resources of the traffic monitoring, and a predetermined threshold level is reached, the threshold level is reduced by the second user in order to free the number or resources will trigger the QoS a may require.

RAN and the threshold level of the core network resources can be determined on the basis of the traffic using that secondary users can be generated. For example, when a resource in excess of 85% of RAN resources used, the back-off process may be implemented to carry out or both, such that the second line from the user or eliminate the amount of the second user of the host network. Back-off by starting the process, the host network should ensure that the amount of available resources MY RAN and the core remains always more than 15%.

In one embodiment, the back of the DSA that each host network always kept free of an amount of resource-off process may be take measures in advance of the actual accident or independently. In the case of an accident, such as a natural disaster, DSA communication system gajyeoseo the capacity for making use of the free resources available to the first responders, when additional resources are needed there may be employed a TPA process.

In an embodiment, DSA communication system back-off can start the RAN resources for use with the second to monitor traffic during off-course, user-defined intervals.

In one embodiment, each of the host network is a back-off can be adopted policies and resource reference - in determining whether to initiate a regular back-off process. These policies and standards are also resources (separate or coexistence) spectrum availability; Capacity / bandwidth availability (e. G., RF, and the core); Overhead criteria (e. G., The total available capacity vs. capacity ratio used); Back-off criteria (reselection, hand-over-to-system and within the system, exit); Treatment (whether a specific service / application is handled / routed); Prohibited treatment (if any service / application is disabled); Grading (for example, how grading services that, for example, special discounts available for use outside of peak); Geographical boundaries (defined zones or cells to contain); Time (defined time and day (s) for inclusion); Duration (defines the incremental assignment based on the time and geographical boundaries); It may include a user equipment type.

Back-off process can be differently implementation for different resource allocation methods. In one embodiment, the virtual-back method for the allocation of a best effort (pure roaming)-off process can be controlled by the PCRF (905) policy disclosed in EPC. eNodeB may also be configured by using the X2 link to initiate a traffic reduction measures on the basis of load capacity. In such a scenario, eNodeB may enable the hand-off by the adjacent traffic cell site to reduce the secondary user host networks. In one embodiment, eNodeB may send to one or more objects including the UE directives. In another embodiment, eNodeB may initiate the process.

Additionally, the bag for the DSA-off process also may include one or more entries, which will be controlled or introduced through the DSC according to the policy-based set of rules agreed upon the back user experience - maintained during the off-course during an attempt to ensure that the means to ensure the re-allocation of the UE's session continuity or other access method.

In one embodiment, the virtual-(DSMPTA) for best effort back-off process can be in addition to a typical set of rules that are part of the access, and EPC. When the traffic reaches the pre-defined threshold, DSA communications system to initiate a process or combination of process DSMPTA back-off process can fulfill. PCRF (905) may dynamically adjust the dynamic QCI / ARQ value for the second user of the wireless device (101). This may involve the use to be put or the best effort or a lower priority scheme to limit bandwidth. There cells undergoing capacity constraints can be placed on a banned list of cells, in order to prevent access to any additional secondary users cells. About prohibited cell list updates can be provided through the material is a broadcast message sent to the wireless device 101 to be transmitted to the wireless device (101). The broadcast message may be updated with the information about the available cells and neighboring cells forbidden.

To ensure that the wireless device 101 is received and read the broadcast messages for the forbidden cells and the available neighboring cells, DSA communication system re them by sending to the wireless devices 101 configured the WAP / SMS message you can choose to force. The wireless device 101 will have to read the broadcast message when they enter into the re-selection process.

In an embodiment, DSA may be initiated to close the service group, they restrict the use of special cells to the roaming wireless devices (101). Combination of the CSG and the TAI that may be associated with the capacity problem may secondary user of the wireless device 101 to limit access to the network. For example, CSG, and can break, or the TAI is the caller, or to reduce the quality, or to expand the network, can provide other identifier to address the capacity problems.

In one embodiment, the back-off during the session, ANDSF (918) may facilitate the handover to the secondary or user's home network to another network of a back of the second user. ADDSF (918) may initiate a network handover, if possible using the connectivity with other networks. Wireless devices 101 can be handed over to another network, or other access network (RAT / IRAT).

In one embodiment, in the back of the user to use the DSA-secondary resource allocation method of the virtual-off process it can be controlled by the PCRF (905) policy rules set forth in EPC and DPC (902). Second primary host network PCRF (905) of the policy rules that apply to the user may take priority over the ones to be controlled by the DPC (902). However, PCRF (905) of the primary host network policy rules may be dynamically changed or corrected on the basis of the conditions disclosed by the primary host network operating requirements. Additionally, the communication system back within the DSA-off process may involve additional items. Implementation of these additional items may be on the basis of an agreed policy and rule sets to be controlled and controls via DSC (910) of the primary host network. DSC (910) policy and rules are back-is designed to ensure the communication session continuity, and good user experience during the process off.

If you fail to apply the process off, DSMPTA back for the second user-accessible and existing policies and rules set in the EPC will also back off this process can be implemented. For example, when it reaches the underlying host network, the traffic is the predetermined threshold level, the host DSC (910) is the second based on the host to eNodeB to use the X2 link and a secondary user of the wireless device (101) QCI / ARQ rule set It can be instructed to handover to the adjacent cell sites within the network user to the host. Alternatively, DSC (910) may instruct the links to the host using the X2 eNodeB 2 primary user when the host network and the home network to be connected for movement to complete the handover to the home network.

On the basis of the directive received from the DSC the host (910), the host PCRF (905) may adjust the QCI / ARQ value for the wireless device 101 of the third user dynamically. For example, the host PCRF (905) is limiting the bandwidth, or fictitious - changing the resource allocation method in the best effort, or may change the priority to a lower priority ranking method.

DSC (910) there is update or generate a list of prohibited cell to the host network and be instructed to include the cells, the cells are present, has experienced a predetermined threshold value or higher traffic capacity, traffic capacity. DSC (910) may instruct the network to broadcast messages to the host providing the re-prohibited cell list updated to add a secondary user of the wireless device (101). The broadcast message may include information on the following ring or rings of the plurality of cells adjacent to a group of addition, the cell or cells with the pharmaceutical. The broadcast message is to perform the changes and due PLMN-id of the cell (s) modified TAT, and the second user of the handover procedure, including the changed neighbor list for the use of wireless device 101 or the network re-selection for the can. To ensure that the second user of the wireless device 101 that checks the material provides the broadcast message, the host network is to force the these by sending to the wireless devices 101 configured for WAP / SMS message to perform a network re-selection can.

DSC host (910) may be instructed to initiate the further restrict, to the secondary users of wireless devices (101) to close the service group (CGS) to the host network is roaming the use of special cell-site. Combination of CGS and TAI associated with network capacity may limit the access of the second user that the roaming wireless device 101 to the host network. Access restrictions caused by a combination of the TAI CGS may enable access to network host only user defined default.

Connectivity is another network (e.g., the second home network) and the primary hoses mans when there between, the host DSC (910) is the other access networks of the host ANDSF (918) to the second user of the wireless device 101, or It may be instructed to initiate a handover to network access networks (RAT / IRAT).

The eNodeB to reduce the overload capacity when the X- branch for resource allocation and access, the host OMC (912) (or any other policy-based control is configured to manage the capacity), a secondary user of the wireless device 101 to the eNodeB the access can be instructed to reduce the available resources. Thus, the impact will be reduced and fixed resources associated with the eNodeB received for the use of the area for two cars. The reduction of the available resources in the eNodeB may force a re-selection or handover of the cell of the adjacent cell and the resources.

Reallocating the eNodeB resources are secondary user of the wireless device 101 may be a host network is maintained balanced by a handover initiation so as to force it to hand-over to another network, on the other network, the devices can roam and it may be provided with a suitable resource. For example, the handover may be an inter-RAT frequencies or IRAT handover.

PGW host (908) is also back-off may be used as part of the process. Second SG of the user of the wireless device 101 may be connected to a suitable host by PGW (908) based on the policies and rules of the host HSS (904) with the PCRF (905). DSC host (910) may control the connection bandwidth between the SG PGW the host (908) and a wireless device (101). Back-off during the process, the host DSC (910) may be initiated to reduce the bandwidth between the host network is the SG of PGW (908) and a secondary user of the wireless device 101 to be moved from the network. DSC (910) can be controlled by the policies and rules process is predetermined by the DSC (910) for reducing the bandwidth between the PGW (908) and SG. The host DSC (910) may continue to monitor the host network cells that can undergo a heavy burden due to high traffic and host PGW (908) to reduce the traffic can be evaluated to additional bandwidth reduction for the device SG connection .

DSMPT back - as part of the off-course all the procedure described by DSC (910) they may not be what is needed, and the implementation and the order in which the process can occur in these processes may depend on the agreement between the host network and the home network.

In one embodiment, the back-off process may be performed in the DSA communication system using a spectrum allocated resource allocation method. Spectrum assignment method may comprise a resource allocation method in an authorized zone and the local area.

In one embodiment, for using the licensed area method DSA back-off process, the secondary home network (e.g., tenants) networks default host from (e.g., the lessor) it may involve the re-allocation of the spectrum resources to the. A host network for use licensed area method is the back-off may be to initiate the process to any existing hand a secondary user of a wireless device 101 in the home network to other networks from the landlord or of the spectrum over again. The time frame for re-allocation will be determined in advance based on a set of rules defined by the landlord and tenant agree. Depending on the time frame defined in the rule set, not all secondary thing that a user may be migrated in time out of the host network, as a result, some of the secondary users may be lost.

On the basis of the pre-negotiated agreement between the landlord and tenant, the host network is a back-off can be determined whether the process is to be applied that can be applied to all or part of the total licensed area. Based on geographical areas associated with capacity reduction, there is a spectrum re-allocation may not be needed in all the cells of the entire licensed area. Thus, the back-can be implemented in the permission region-off sub-process of an authorized domain.

Back for full licensed area - in implementing the off process, the host DSC (910) may inform the DPC (902) to have reached a pre-defined threshold for the host network, the traffic capacity. DPC (902) may deliver the message to the home DSC (910). DSC groove (910) may be handed over to the second user traffic by reducing the resources available to the host home eNodeB in a phased manner in the US leased spectrum. Step to reduce the resources available to the eNodeB can be carried out in a pre-defined time interval basis. If traffic is not migrated in a manner that time, DPC groove (902) may be migrated to a secondary user to initiate a handover to another suitable network channel from the host network. Once the resource is free, a home eNodeB may be removed from the channels on their available channels list.

Sub-bag for the authorized domain (as opposed to the entire licensed area Im) in implementing the Off course, the above process is defined cells, or the TAI is subject to implementation, except that it be used in place of the entire licensed area have.

Once this capacity limitations solved by the host network, the spectrum may be re-allocated to the home networks. In order to reallocate resources, DSC host (910) may be notified that the spectrum resource is available again for use by the home network to the DPC (902). DPC groove (902) may be notified to the DSC groove (910) that the resource is again available. Up resources based on predetermined policies and rule sets may be re-allocated to the home networks.

For the back-off process is not controlled by the rules and policies on the access and the EPC, the host may initiate a backoff procedure DSMPTA. It may be possible based on set rules.

In one embodiment, the back-off process for DSA communication system using a local area method may rely on a set of policies and rules agreed upon by the landlord and the tenant.

Back-off from the DSA using the resource allocation method of the regional area process is again local region or sub in the home or other network-to the second hand-over in the wireless device 101 of any conventional to use the host spectrum in the local area It may include. DSC host (910) and DPC (902) / DSC (910) set of rules may define whether the second user is to be moved from a subset of the entire geographic region or area.

Frame time for resource re-allocation for the back-off process can be predetermined on the basis of the policies and rules set by the lessor and the lessee agreement. Not all traffic can be successfully migrated to a home network or another during the course'm not back off, which is when the timetable set forth in the agreement are not met. In such a scenario, the connection part may be a predetermined time frame is lost as soon as the drop out or expired.

At the start of a back-off process, the tenant network resource associated with a home eNodeB may be reduced in a phased manner. Home OMC (912) may initiate a Resource decreases by the eNodeB. Other policy-based component of the home network, such as DPC (902) may also be initiated by the resource reducing eNodeB. The home network can facilitate a handover of the second user of the home network from the host spectrum network spectrum. If the home network does not have the capacity to handle the traffic volume, the handover is not timely performed in such a manner, the wireless device of the handover for the communication session to another network or channel, or the second user (101) performs a re-selection process It may be forced to. Once the eNodeB when the hand-over of all the second users from the host spectrum, the spectrum can be removed from the channel list of available channels of access to the second user.

Once this capacity limitations solved by the host network, the spectrum may be re-allocated to the home networks. In order to reallocate resources, DSC host (910) may inform the DPC (902) that the spectrum resources that is available again for use by the home network. DPC groove (902) may be notified to the DSC groove (910) that the resource is again available. Resources is based on pre-determined policies and rule sets may be re-allocated to the home networks.

34 is connected to the one element (3402) and the smart phone (101a), a laptop (101b), and illustrates the mobile phone (101c), the elements are the basic elements for communicating 3404 and the second element 2306 and it communicates with the base stations (102a and 102b) through the main RAT and the second RAT. The base station (102a) is connected to the primary network and base stations (102b) is connected to the second network (102b). In one embodiment, as illustrated in Figure 34, DSA communication system can be made at the same time access to a wireless device (101a to 101c) are some RAT (e.g., primary and secondary RAT RAT). For example, DSA may enable the wireless device 101 using the default network RAT of the basic access to the second RAT above the secondary network only for certain type of service. For example, when using a wireless device 101 in the primary network is to cause a large amount of or congested traffic, DSA communication system can be enabled to send to the second network to off-load the primary network is a large amount of and congested traffic. For example, using the header to the traffic data to provide the primary and secondary elements (2306 and 3404) can be routed to the primary and secondary base stations and radio network. Switching to switch between networks may occur using the DSA. In another embodiment, the switching element 3402, may be caused by using a base component or secondary component (3404 or 3406). In still another embodiment, switching may be initiated by another object salpineun the capacity of the, or the network by the primary or secondary network DSA.

Figure 35 illustrates a message flow diagram 3500 of the arbitration process in the DSA communication system according to an embodiment. In this embodiment, but one of the bidders (e.g., networks 1) is used for the sake of simplicity, it is envisaged that a number of bidders can use this procedure. Networks 1 (3501) can send a request for resources message 3502 to the DPC (902). DPC (902) is a can to receive the request message sent to the query (3504, 3506) in advance on the basis of defined criteria that are in the network 2 and network 3 participating DSC (910a, 910b) for, the standard radio to request in addition to the geographic reference of the device 101 may include a user of the type and performance of the wireless device (101). Geographic reference may include the geographical location, the geographical area of ​​the shape or an authorized user of the wireless device (101). Geographic reference request may include a parameter greater than to allow users to permit the host network. DPC (902) is in contact from the respective DSC (910a, 910b) may receive a resource inquiry response (3508, 3510).

DPC (902) is a resource availability by sending a message (3512), may notify the network that the requested resource is one that is available via the DSC (910a). Networks 1 (3501) may send a resource request message (3514) to reserve the resources available to receive the message from the (3510) the resources available, and in response, DSC (910a) to the DPC (902). DPC (902) may send a resource reservation requests (3516) the DSC (910a). A resource reservation request (3516) on receipt, DSC (910a) is necessary to book the spectrum, may send a resource reservation message (3518) back to the DPC (902). DPC (902) is to receive a resource bidding message (3520) from the network 1 from the network 1, and the acceptance of this bid (if the bid is to follow the policies and rules of the DPC (902) Lim), bid acceptance message (3522) It can be sent to the network 1 (3501). When accepting a bid from the bidder, DPC (902) also sends the resource request specifying (3524) the DSC (910a), may allocate the reserved resources to the first network 3501. DSC (910a) and is allocated to be used to specify the resource receives the Resource Request (3524), and by the network 1, 3501, may send a message (3526) the resources allocated to the DPC (902). DPC (902) is a resource by sending an allocation message (3528) to the network 1 (3501), requesting the resource is now the wireless device 101 of the subscriber network 1 (3501), that the allocation for use by the network 1 (3501 ) it has to be notified. Resources may be available for use by the first network 3501. Once the resources are used, DSC (910a) may send to the resources consumed / release message 3530 to the DPC (902). DPC (902) is the resource consumption on / off the message (3530) to receive the resources consumed on / off the message (3532), the network 1 (3501) to be sent there. Networks 1 (3501) can be settled on the fee for using their spectrum.

36 to 40 illustrates a flow chart of a method according to an silye for using the DSA communication system to allocate resources and access. As illustrated in Figure 36, network 1 DSC (910a) may monitor the call traffic as compared to the total spectrum resources available to the network 1 (block 3602). DSC (910a) may be burned, and reporting the status of the network resources on 1 DPC (902). DPC (902) may receive a report from a network resource support, and 1 (block 3702) is to store the report (block 3704). There DSC (910a) of the network 1 can determine if additional resources may be needed to provide the service to existing users of the network 1 on the basis of the resource status report (decision block 3606). If additional resources are not needed (i.e., decision block 3606 = "No"), DSC (910a) is by going back to block 3602 may continue to monitor the resources available traffic bandwidth vs. Fig. If additional resources are required (i.e., decision block 3606 = "Yes"), DSC (910a) may send a request for the additional resources to the DPC (902) (block 3608).

DSC network 2 (910b) is also the resources available in the network 2 vs. To monitor the traffic, and bandwidth (block 3602), and to report the resource status to the DPC (902) (block 3804). DPC (902) may receive a resource status from the DSC (910b) and (block 3702), and store the received data (block 3704). DSC (910b) is a resource of the excess can be determined whether the use in the network 2 (decision block 3804). If resources of the excess that is not available at the network 2 (i.e., decision block 3804 = "No"), DSC (910b) is the block to continue to monitor the available resources vs. traffic bandwidth used by going back to 3602 It could be when the resources of the excess amount of available (i.e., decision block 3804 = "Yes"), DSC (910b) is a sub excess resources or excess resources - by assigned for use secondary portions (block 3806), resources may be reported to the DPC (902) being allocated for use by the second user (block 3808). DPC (902) is to receive a resource allocation from the reported DSC (910b) (block 3702), and store the received data (block 3704).

DPC (902) may be received from a number of different network resource status report. However, in this embodiment, for ease of illustration, only the interaction of the DPC (902) and the two networks it is shown. Is added to the status report received from the network, for access to and use of the assigned resources may include additional information, such as the network rules and policies. For example, a status report from the network 2 may include the system requirements for the network 2 that must be met before the wireless device 101 can successfully access the allocated resources of the second network as a secondary user.

DPC (902) receives a request for additional resources from DSC (910a) of the network 1 (block 3706), and the other based on the data received from the network, the network 1 is additional to purchase the resources best available It selects the network (block 3708). In this example, DPC (902) is the most appropriate network to select a second network may provide the resource to the first network. DPC (902) by sending a resource inquiry to the network 2 can be determined and also the quantity (block 3710), the availability of excess resource allocation of the network 2.

There DSC (910b) of the network 2 can be determined also by the contact receiving resource (block 3810), the available resources (block 3812). DSC (910b) may send a resource inquiry in response to the DPC (902). Resource inquiry response may contain information about the quality and quantity of resources available for use by the second user. DPC (902) may receive a resource inquiry response (block 3712).

As shown in Figure 37, DPC (902) may determine whether to use the resource is based on data received from the DSC (910b) of the second network (block 3714). If the data are not available (i.e., decision block 3714 = "No"), DPC (902) may send a response mail support resource is unavailable to the network 1 (block 3722). Network resources are different two euros use may not be possible for use by the example, resources are DSC (910a) in which they can be purchased to other bidders before the reservation by the network. network 1 receives the message resource is unavailable and can (block 3614), the other can browse the available spectrum resources, or to terminate a connection session with the user in order to free resources on the network 1 (block 3618).

If the available data are used (i.e., decision block 3714 = "Yes"), DPC (902) is a possible message resources used by sending the DSC (910a), the quality and quantity of resources available for secondary use in the network 2 for may inform the network 1 (block 3716). DSC (910a) may receive a resource available message, by sending a request resources message reserved the allocated resources in the network 2 for use by the subscriber to the network 1 can be (block 3612). requested resource message may include data such as the quantity of resources that the network 1 may be required by the transaction.

DPC (902) may receive a resource request message, (block 3718) and may send a resource reservation request message to the second network (block 3720). DSC (910b) in the second network may receive a resource reservation request, and (block 3816), and to schedule the requested quantity of resources allocated for use by the first network subscriber (block 3818). There DSC (910b) of the network resource 2 is assigned resources of a requested quantity by transmitting the scheduled messages can verify that the reserved for use by the first network (block 3820). DPC (902) is an auction process may be prepared to receive a message from the network resources reserved 2, which are as described in Figure 38.

As illustrated in Figure 38, a DSC (910a) of the network 1 may send a resource bid, negotiate access to the resources reserved in the network 2 (block 3620). DPC (902) may be treated to receive a bid resources (block 3726). DPC (902) may determine that the received bid can be accepted from the network 1 (decision block 3728). DPC (902) can evaluate the bid from a network provider by way of a policy and based on the rule set, or other DSA communication system in addition to the requirements set forth by the network provides resources, such as price and the allocation or resource method. If this bid is accepted, (that is, decision block 3728 = "Yes"), DPC (902) may send a bid acceptance message to the network 1 (block 3730). DSC (910a) is a bid acceptance message and resource access air may receive an instruction (block 3622). Once the bid has been accepted, DPC (902) also may send a resource designation message to the DSC (910b) of the network 2 (block 3732). DSC (910b) specifies resources to receive the message (block 3822) and may specify the resources reserved for use by the network 1 (block 3824) the DSC (910b) are screwed one to access the specified resource in the network 2 by sending a resource access message may be enabled, and (block 3826), can be configured to establish a wireless device 101 and the communication session in the network 1 (block 3828).

DPC (902) may relay a message to the network access resource 1 (block 3734). DSC (910a) may receive a resource access message (block 3624). Resource access message may include data, such as access parameters that may be used by a secondary user of the wireless device 101 to access the resources on the network 2. DSC is (910a) is may send the access parameters for the network 2 to a wireless device 101, the wireless device is provided with a communication session with the network 1 arranged to migrate to the network 1 is a network 2 (block 3626). Prescribed wireless device 101 may be established to receive the access parameters for the network 2, and (block 3902), the wireless device 101 and the communication session in the network 1 (step 3904 and step 3830). Network 2 is, as will be described in more detail below with reference to Figure 40, may initiate the adjustment process.

If the bid is rejected (i.e., decision block 3728 = "No"), DPC (902) is (as shown in FIG. 39) may send a bid message (block 3716) rejected to the network 1 illustrated in FIG. 39 , DSC (910a) may receive a rejected bid message may determine whether (block 3716), re-bid as described (decision block 3640). If even without any re-bid (i.e., decision block 3640 = "no") , DSC (910a) may send a resource request cancellation message (block 3644). DPC (902) can receive the resource request and cancel the message (block 3742) and may send a resource release message to the network 2 (block 3744). DSC (910b) of the network 2 is capable of receiving the resource release message (block 3832), that can release the resources reserved for use by the networks outside, and (block 3834), block, as shown in FIG. 36 by going back to 3808 it may report the resource status assigned to the DPC (902), and may follow the steps described above for Figure 36.

If the re-bid (i.e., decision block 3640 = "Yes"), DSC (910a) may send a new bid for the same resource (block 3642). DPC (902) may receive a new bid and (block 3738 ), it can be determined whether to accept the new bid (decision block 3740). When a new bid is rejected again (that is, decision block 3740 = "No"), DPC (902) is rejected by going back to the block (3736) again, the auction can send a message. If the bid is accepted (i.e., decision block 3740 = "Yes"), DPC (902) is as shown in Figure 38 back to block 3730 to send a bid acceptance message by going and described above with respect to FIG. 38 the as you can follow the same steps.

Figure 40 illustrates the settlement process after the network 2 to provide access to the second user of the wireless device 101 of the first network. There DSC (910b) of the second network could send an invoice and payment instructions for use of the resources allocated by the network 1 to the DPC (902) (block 3836). DPC (902) may relay the invoice and payment instructions from the network 1 to the network 2 (block 3746). DSC (910a) may receive an invoice and payment directives (block 3644), it is possible to settle the fees between network 2 (step 3648 and step 3840).

Alternatively, a DSC (910b) of the network 2 is used to send a parameter and a payment instruction to the DPC (902) (block 3838). DPC (902) is able to receive and use parameters and billing instructions (block 3748), and to create an invoice (block 3750) and may send an invoice to the second network (block 3752). DSC (910a) may receive an invoice and payment directives (block 3646), the payment can be settled with the network 2 (step 3648 and step 3840).

Figure 41 illustrates a message flow diagram 4100 of the message communication between the available resources and other resources requested network providers of the components assigned to the network. DSC (910a) in the first network 3501 may send a resource request from a message (3502). DPC (902) may receive a resource request message to send a resource inquiry to the network 2 (message 3504). In the second network, the resource inquiry may be received from the DSC (910b). DSC (910b) is sending a resource, contact the OMC (912) in the two networks it can be used to determine whether the resource is in one network (message 4106). OMC (912) may send a resource query message to the DSC access resources to a resource query message received from (910b) (4102) (message 4108). OMC (912) may also send a message to the inquiry message core resources 4204 (message 4110). Access resources 4102 and the core resource 4204 may receive a resource query message from the respective OMC (912) and may send a resource response to the OMC (message 4112 and message 4114, respectively). Resource response from the access resources 4102 may include other message parameters.

OMC (912) may send to the access resources 4102 and core resources (4104), DSC (910b), the resource response message indicating the resources available in the well positioned to receive, from the network 2, the resource response (message 4116). DSC (910b) may send the resource to receive the response message from the OMC (912), in response to a resource inquiry DPC (902) (message 3508). DPC (902) may send received a resource inquiry response from the DSC (910b), and by the requested resource type is determined to use is enabled in the network 2, the resource availability message to the DSC (910a) of the network 1 (message 3512 ). DSC (910a) may receive a resource utilization message available, it is possible to request the resources available to the DPC (902) from the second network by sending a resource request message. DPC (902) may receive a resource request message, can request to be reserved for use by the resources available in the network 2, the network 1 by sending a resource reservation request message to the DSC (910b) (message 3516). DSC (910b) may receive a resource reservation request message, through the OMC (912), to send the resource reservation request to access a resource 4102 which (message 4118), the resource reservation request to the core resource 4104 You may send (message 4120).

Access resources 4102 can book the to receive the resource reservation request from the OMC (912), available resources, and to send a resource reservation message to the DSC (910b) back through the OMC (912) (message 4122). Similarly, a core resource 4104 is to receive a resource reservation request from the OMC (912), and may book the resources available, to send back a resource reservation message to the DSC (910b) through the OMC (912) there can (message 4124). DSC (910b) is a resource reservation message to access a resource 4102 and a core resource 4104 from the reception, and resource reservation messages the DPC (902) to send, request the resource is network 1 in by using for reservation that there can be notified that the DPC (902) and one network (message 3518). DPC (902) may receive a message from the resource bidding DSC (910a) of the first network (message 3520). DPC (902) if the bid is received by the DPC (902) meet the requirements of the contract pricing and network 2 can send an acceptance message to the bidding DSC (910a) (message 3522). If a bid is accepted, DPC (902) may send a resource request to the designated DSC (910b) (message 3524). DSC (910b) may receive a resource request to access the resource specified (4102) and (message 4126), may receive a resource request to the core specified resources 4104 (message 4128). DSC (910b) can be sent to the policy controller 905, which may be identical or different and PCFF a policy for the further, the resources specified message (message 4130). DSC (910b) may send the metered resources assigned to the additional, AAA / AuC (4106) (message 4132).

42 to 44 is the second for indicating a process flow diagram of a method according to an embodiment to back-off the user, the user their home back-off by end their communication session with the or the host network by handover back to the network do. Has a wireless device 101 in the network 1 is able to establish a communication session with the second user of the network 2 via the DSC (910b) (step 3904 and step 3830). DSC (910b) of the network traffic over networks vs. 2 Used to continuously monitor the available resources (block 3602) and may send the report to the DPC (902) (block 3604). DPC (902) may receive a resource status report from the DSC (910b). DSC (910b) may be determined by adding a greater than the capacity of the network based on the available resources of mangryang (network volume) the network (decision block 4404). If mangryang is not greater than the capacity of the network (that is, decision block 4404 = "No"), DSC (910b) may be monitored continuously monitored traffic vs. available resources by returning to block 3602. The mangryang It is greater than the capacity of the network (that is, decision block 4404 = "Yes"), DSC (910b) may determine the identification by (block 4406), if the user is a secondary user the user of the above network (decision block 4408 ).

There the user and the second case of a user, (i.e., decision block 4408 = "Yes"), DSC (910b) is to send a session connection termination message from the t, t may be the second user communication session is terminated by the network 2 before the amount of time remaining has session connection termination message in (block 4410). t may be received by the DPC (902) as illustrated in FIG. 43 (block 4306). Alternatively, the session connection terminated at t instead of sending the message, DSC (910b) are secondary to end the user of the communication session, the additional resources to the base, or other relevant user can be provided immediately (block 4412). terminate immediately whether or secondary user decision on whether to send a warning before termination can be based on the terms and DSA communications system policy and rule sets between the contractor and the network built a secondary network providers.

If the user is not a secondary user (i.e., decision block 4408 = "No"), DSC (910b) is connected to it it can be determined whether any of the other secondary users existing on the network (step 4414). Mans 1 other secondary if users are still present (i.e., decision block 4414 = "Yes"), DSC (910b) is of the first secondary user prior to the primary user by returning to step (4410) and (4412) It may send a connection attempt to terminate the session. If it does not exist on a basic network secondary user any other (that is, decision block 4414 = "No"), DSC (910b) it is based on the priority access rules as a layer to maintain or disconnect a default user communication session can be (block 4416). for example, premium primary user may be interrupted (e. g., more users of expensive subscriptions) the last to Alternatively, in one embodiment (not illustrated), exit the primary user of the communication session instead, DSC (910b) may try to handover to the other network to the user as a secondary user, and thus, preserves the communication session connection while reducing the amount of network 1. DSC (910b) is a block ( additional caller by returning to 4404) can be found to monitor the return mangryang vs. capacity to determine whether there is a need to be off-loaded.

As shown in Figure 43 illustrated, DPC (902) is connected to a session termination message at t a DSC (910a) to be relayed to it (block 4306). DSC (910a) is to receive a session connection termination message at t, and set a timer to count down from (block 4206), t (block 4208), monitor their available resources (block 4210), from the network 2 secondary user may determine whether the resources available on the network 1 to receive a communication session exists (decision block 4212). If the resource is not available on the network 1 (i.e., decision block 4212 = "No"), DSC (910a) by sending a request for the resource to the DPC (902) (block 3808), block 3706 of FIG. 36 followed by a return to the resource allocation and the steps as described above for the 36 to 40 may be reserved for purchase and the available resources from the network provider.

If available resources are used on the network 1 (i.e., decision block 4212 = "Yes"), DSC (910a) is to allocate the resource to the second user is terminated from the network 2, and (block 4212), the wireless device 101 is also terminate connection from the network 2, as shown in 44, and can send an instruction to connect to the DPC (902) to the network 1 (block 4308). DSC (910a) is also in the secondary user wireless device 101 you can configure / 1 system to prepare the network connection (block 4218).

As shown in Figure 44, DPC (902) is a wireless device 101 may relay the instructions to the DSC (910b) of the second network 2 and terminate connection from a network to connect to the network 1 (block 4308). DSC (910b) may receive the instruction and may (block 4418), may send a directive to the second user of the wireless device 101, the device has a communications session with the current network 2 (block 4420). Terminate the wireless device 101 is connected from the network 2, and can receive an instruction to connect to the network 1, and (block 4220) to end the communications session with the network 2, and (block 4222), establishes a communication session with the network 1 you can (step 4224 and step 4226).

Public Safety Network

In one embodiment, the DSA provides basic network communication system contractor can be a public safety net. Public safety net may be the holder or owner of the public safety spectrum. Public safety spectrum is usually reserved for use by the public security authorities. The bandwidth is assigned public safety spectrum typically includes more than what is used on average by the public safety authorities. Spectrum exceeds the amount of the expected use of the spectrum public safety during emergencies such as disasters and are designated for public safety use.

In an embodiment, DSA communication system may be a public safety net to rent spectrum resources to other networks when the public safety spectrum available and in use is not in use. During public safety emergencies is when network resources are all necessary for use by the public security authorities, DSA communication system to the network resources all allocated in the network by offloading traffic from the public security network in order to free the resources that other from the network it can be viewed.

In addition, given the spectrum of the public safety network in this case revealed to be inadequate to deal with the massive use of by public safety agencies during emergencies, DSA communication system is a public safety net lease resources from other networks participating in the DSA communication system or take It may be enabled. For example, DSA communication system may require that all participating networks are being continuously maintained to be not specify a certain percentage (e.g., 10%) of their resources. Public safety nets are available unassigned resources of the participating networks in order to increase the resources of the network for public safety communications during emergencies. DSA is added to the communication system, it is possible to off load the primary and / or secondary users in the base web of the basic network to free the resources for use by the public security authorities.

In one embodiment, the method may be based on the TPA described above for FIG. 1 to FIG. 8, the access to the public safety spectrum. For example, you can always have access to this spectrum detective (police dispatcher). However, the access of other users of the private public security resources may be restricted for a certain time period or date while depending on the contract between the user and the public security service supplier network.

In one embodiment, the ratio of the air from safety or other Mandelieu may be performed using the methods described above for the TPA offloading 1 to 8 of public safety users. For example, in public safety net, when the resources are needed to use the public safety, DSA communication system may be possible to off-load the user in the order of preferred Public safety net, such as first, second non-off-the public safety user to load, and second, the default non-offloaded to the public safety users, a third, it may be possible to load the public safety user off of a lower rank. There TAP similar methods can be used to offload other users of the network resources can be used by public safety net.

In one embodiment, during an emergency, DSA communication system can limit access to any resources that are assigned for use of the public safety net secondary. For example, once the determined DSA communication system is that there is a public safety emergency, DSA communication system may not consider the more resources allocated from the public safety net, the mesh has the resources available for use by other Mandelieu as is relevant to this emergency.

In an embodiment, DSA communication system policies and rule sets may need to allocate a percentage of the resources of the network for network use their public safety and disaster response object participating. During an emergency, DSA communication system may be enabled to access to a public safety net additional resources, the resources of the respective non-allocated to a public safety net for public safety use. In this scenario, if the allocated resources are being used, TPA method can be used to load the user from the allocated resources off. If not properly negotiate non-other resources in the public safety net it may be used for public safety.

Figure 45 to Fig. 49 illustrates a flow diagram of a method using the DSA communication system according to an embodiment of allocating the resources of the public access and safety nets. As illustrated in Figure 45, DSC (910a) are resources in the network 1 vs. You can monitor the traffic bandwidth (block 3602). DSC (910a) can report the resource status of the network 1 to the recording and DPC (902). DPC (902) may receive a report from a network resource support, and 1 (block 3702) is to store the report (block 3704). There DSC (910a) of the network 1 can determine if additional resources may be needed to provide the service to existing users of the network 1 on the basis of the resource status report (decision block 3606). If additional resources are not needed (i.e., decision block 3606 = "No"), DSC (910a) is available resources by going back to the block (3602) vs. may continue to monitor the traffic bandwidth. If additional resources are required (i.e., decision block 3606 = "Yes"), DSC (910a) may send a request for the additional resources to the DPC (902) (block 3608).

Public safety net DSC (910b) it is possible to reserve a predetermined amount of spectrum resource that is not used as a back-up for use by the public security authority (block 4502). This can ensure that an emergency, such as when a request for a resource present during natural disasters, additional resources are immediately available to be dedicated to the public security used until it is canceled by off-loading of the second user from the network . Public safety net DSC (910b) is also available resources within the public safety net vs. To monitor the traffic, and bandwidth (block 3602), and to report the resource status to the DPC (902) (block 3804). DPC (902) is received by the resource status report from the DSC (910b) (block 3702), and store the received data (block 3704). DSC (910b) may be greater than the amount of the resource used for determining whether the air safety net (decision block 3804). If the resource is not available in excess of the safety net in the air (that is, decision block 3804 = "No"), DSC (910b) is to continuously monitor the available resources vs. bandwidth traffic by going to block 3602 again can be (block 3602) if the resources of the excess amount of available (i.e., decision block 3804 = "Yes"), DSC (910b) is a sub excess resources or excess resources - by assigned for use secondary parts (block 3806), it can be reported to the DPC (902) that resources are allocated for use by the second user (block 3808). DPC (902) is to receive a resource allocation from the reported DSC (910b) (block 3702), and store the received data (block 3704).

It is added to the status report received from the network, for access to and use of the allocated resources may include information such as the network rules and policies. For example, there are status reports from the public safety network may include the system requirements for public safety net, this requirement is the wireless device 101 before it can successfully access the allocated resources on the public safety net as the secondary user It must be met.

DPC (902) receives a request for additional resources from DSC (910a) of the network 1 (block 3706), and the other based on the data received from the network, the network 1 is additional to purchase the resources best available It selects the network (block 3708). In this example, DPC (902) is to select the most appropriate public safety net as the network may provide the resource to the network 1. DPC (902) may determine the degree and quantity of the available resources by sending a inquiry to the public safety net (block 3710), the assigned safety net excess of air resources.

There DSC (910b) of the public safety net is possible to determine also by receiving a resource inquiry (block 3810), the available resources (block 3812). DSC (910b) may send a resource inquiry in response to the DPC (902). Resource inquiry response may contain information about the quality and quantity of resources available for use by the second user. DPC (902) may receive a resource inquiry response (block 3712).

As shown in Figure 46, DPC (902) may determine whether to use the resource is based on data received from the DSC (910b) of the public safety net (block 3714). If the data are not available (i.e., decision block 3714 = "No"), DPC (902) may send a response mail support resource is unavailable to the network 1 (block 3722). Network resources are different two euros on may not be available for use by. for example, resources can be sold to other bidders before the scheduled by the network to which they are requested. DSC (910a) of the network 1 is a message resource is unavailable and you can receive (block 3614), and may search for other available spectrum resources, or to terminate the connection session with the user in order to free resources on the first network (block 3618).

If the data is available (i.e., decision block 3714 = "Yes"), DPC (902) by sending a resource available message to the DSC (910a), the quality and quantity of resources available for secondary use on the public safety net for may inform the network 1 (block 3716). DSC (910a) may receive a resource available message, schedule the allocated resources of the public safety net for use by a subscriber of the network 1 by sending a resource request message can be (block 3612) the resource request message may include data such as the quantity of resources that the network 1 may be required by the transaction. DPC (902) may receive a resource request message, (block may 3718), to send the resource request message reserved for the public safety net (block 3720). the DSC (910b) in the public safety net to receive the resource reservation request and for use by a (block 3816), the network first subscriber may book the resources allocated for the requested amount (block 3818). DSC (910b) of the public safety net is that the resources allocated for the requested quantity being reserved for use by the network 1 by sending a resource reservation message It can be found (block 3820). DPC (902) may be able to receive a resource reservation message from the public safety net and preparing the bidding process described in Figure 47.

As it illustrated in Figure 47, a DSC (910a) of the first network by sending a resource bid to negotiate access to the resources reserved for the public safety net (block 3620). DPC (902) may be treated to receive a resource bid (block 3726). DPC (902) may determine whether to accept the bid received from the first network (decision block 3728). DPC (902) can evaluate the bid from a network provider by way of a policy and based on the rule set, or other DSA communication system in addition to the requirements set forth by the network provides resources, such as price and the allocation or resource method.

If this bid is accepted (i.e., decision block 3728 = "Yes"), DPC (902) may send a bid acceptance message to the network 1 (block 3730). DSC (910a) is a bid acceptance message and resource access air may receive an instruction (block 3622). Once the bid has been accepted, DPC (902) also may send a resource designation message to the DSC (910b) of the public safety net (block 3732). DSC (910b) specifies resources to receive the message (block 3822) and may specify the resources reserved for use by the network 1 (block 3824). DSC (910b) is a network 1 by sending a resource access message to access the specified resource in the public safety net may be enabled, and (block 3826), can be configured to establish a wireless device 101 and the communication session in the network 1 (block 3828).

DPC (902) may relay a message to the network access resource 1 (block 3734). DSC (910a) may receive a resource access message (block 3624). Resource access message may include data, such as access parameters that may be used by a secondary user of the wireless device 101 to access the resources on the public safety net. It is to be appreciated that other data may be included in the resource access message. DSC (910a) is may send the access parameters to the wireless device (101) for the air not expected, the wireless device is provided with a communication session with the network 1, and arranged to migrate to the network 1 is a public safety net (block 3626) . Prescribed wireless device 101 can receive the access parameters for the safety net, and the air (block 3902), can establish a wireless device 101 and the communication session in the network 1 (step 3904 and step 3830). Public safety net can be started, the settlement process, as further described below in detail with reference to Figure 49.

If the bid is rejected (i.e., decision block 3728 = "No"), DPC (902) is (as shown in FIG. 48) may send a bid message (block 3716) rejected to the network 1 illustrated in FIG. 48 , DSC (910a) may receive a rejected bid message may determine whether (block 3716), re-bid as described (decision block 3640). If even without any re-bid (i.e., decision block 3640 = "no") , DSC (910a) may send a resource request cancellation message (block 3644). DPC (902) can receive the resource request and cancel the message (block 3742) and may send a resource release message to the public safety net (block 3744). DSC (910b) of the public safety net is capable of receiving the resource release message (block 3832), that can release the resources reserved for use by the networks outside, and (block 3834), block, as shown in FIG. 45 by going back to 3808 it may report the resource status assigned to the DPC (902), and may follow the steps described above for Figure 45.

If the re-bid (i.e., decision block 3640 = "Yes"), DSC (910a) may send a new bid for the same resource (block 3642). DPC (902) may receive a new bid and (block 3738 ), it can be determined whether to accept the new bid (decision block 3740). When a new bid is rejected again (that is, decision block 3740 = "No"), DPC (902) is rejected by going back to the block (3736) again, the auction can send a message. If the bid is accepted (i.e., decision block 3740 = "Yes"), DPC (902) are described above with respect to back to block 3730 to send a bid acceptance message by going and 47 as shown in Figure 47 the as you can follow the same steps.

Figure 49 illustrates the settlement process after the air safety net is provided for the second user of the access to the wireless device 101 of the first network. DSC (910b) of the air is a safety net can send invoice and payment instructions for use of the resources allocated by the network 1 to the DPC (902) (block 3836). DPC (902) may relay the invoice and payment instruction to the first network from the public safety net (block 3746). DSC (910a) is capable of receiving the invoice and payment instructions and (block 3644), and to settle the charges and public safety nets (step 3648 and step 3840).

Alternatively, a DSC (910b) of the safety net will be able to send the air to the operating parameters and a payment instruction to DPC (902) (block 3838). DPC (902) is able to receive and use parameters and billing instructions (block 3748), and to create an invoice (block 3750) and may send an invoice to the public safety network (block 3752). DSC (910a) may receive an invoice and payment directives (block 3646), the payment can be settled with the network 2 (step 3648 and step 3840).

Figure 50 to Figure 53 is the second for indicating a process flow diagram of a method according to an embodiment to back-off the user, the user their home back-off by end their communication session with the or the host network by handover back to the network do. It has a wireless device 101 in the network 1 via a DSC (910b) able to establish a communication session with the second user of the public safety net (step 3904 and step 3830). DSC (910b) of the public safety net is in place Network Traffic vs. Used to continuously monitor the available resources (block 3602) and may send the report to the DPC (902) (block 3604). DPC (902) may receive a resource status report from the DSC (910b). DSC (910b) may be determined by adding a greater than the capacity of the network based on the available resources of mangryang (network volume) the network (decision block 4404). If mangryang is not greater than the capacity of the network (that is, decision block 4404 = "No"), DSC (910b) may be monitored continuously monitored traffic vs. available resources by returning to block 3602. The mangryang It is greater than the capacity of the network (that is, decision block 4404 = "Yes"), DSC (910b) may determine the identification by (block 4406), if the user is a secondary user the user of the above network (decision block 4408 ).

When mangryang exceeds the capacity threshold assigned in the network (that is, decision block 4408 = "Yes"), in presence of abnormal conditions, which may indicate that the unfolding emergencies. In this scenario, DSC (910b) is air based on Figure 50 and the TPA system to free up resources for safe use it may be in accordance with the process illustrated in the process flow diagram of FIG. 54 to allocate network resources incrementally.

As shown in Figure 50, in order to free the resources for public safety use, public safety net may send a session connection termination message from the t, t is the secondary user communication session, the remaining prior to termination by the public safety net is the amount of time (block 4410). Can access session termination message at t it will be received by the DPC (902) as illustrated in FIG. 43 (block 4306). Alternatively, instead of sending a session connection termination message at t, DSC (910b) it may provide an immediate, additional resources to end the second user of the communication session to the base, or other relevant user (block 4412 ). Decision to terminate immediately or whether to send a second warning before the end user can be based on the terms and DSA communications system policy and rule sets between the contractor and the network built a secondary network providers.

If the user is not a secondary user (i.e., decision block 4408 = "No"), DSC (910b) is connected to it it can be determined whether the outside of any that secondary users existing on the network (block 4414). Mans 1 other secondary if users are still present (i.e., decision block 4414 = "Yes"), DSC (910b) is of the first secondary user prior to the primary user by returning to step (4410) and (4412) It may send a connection attempt to terminate the session. If it does not exist on a basic network secondary user any other (that is, decision block 4414 = "No"), DSC (910b) it is based on the priority access rules as a layer to maintain or disconnect a default user communication session can be (block 4416). for example, premium primary user may be interrupted (e. g., more users of expensive subscriptions) the last to Alternatively, in one embodiment (not illustrated), exit the primary user of the communication session instead, DSC (910b) may try to handover to the other network to the user as a secondary user, and thus, preserves the communication session connection while reducing the amount of network 1. DSC (910b) is a block ( additional caller by returning to 4404) can be found to monitor the return mangryang vs. capacity to determine whether there is a need to be off-loaded.

As illustrated in Figure 51, DPC (902) may be connected to relay the session termination message at t in DSC (910a) (block 4306). DSC (910a) is to receive a session connection termination message at t (block 4206), setting a timer to count down from the t (block 4208), monitor their available resources (block 4210), from the public safety net secondary user may determine whether the resources available on the network 1 to receive a communication session exists (decision block 4212). If the resource is not available on the network 1 (i.e., decision block 4212 = "No"), DSC (910a) by sending a request for the resource to the DPC (902) (block 3808), block 3706 of FIG. 45 by following the resource allocation steps as described above for the return, and even by 45 to 49 may be reserved for purchase and the available resources from the network provider.

If available resources are used on the network 1 (i.e., decision block 4212 = "Yes"), DSC (910a) is to allocate the resource to the second user is terminated from a public safety net, and (block 4212), the wireless device 101 It is as shown in Figure 52 terminate connection from the public safety net, and may send an instruction to connect to the DPC (902) to the network 1 (block 4308). DSC (910a) is also in the secondary user wireless device 101 you can configure / 1 system to prepare the network connection (block 4218).

As shown in Figure 52, DPC (902) is a wireless device 101 may terminate the connection from the public safety net and relay the instructions to connect to the network 1 to the DSC (910b) of the public safety net (block 4308). DSC (910b) may receive the instruction and (block 4418), may send a directive to the second user of the wireless device 101, the device may (block 4420) to have a communication session with the current public safety net . Wireless device 101 may receive an instruction to terminate the connection from the public safety net and connected to the network 1, and (block 4220) to end the communication session with the public safety net, and (block 4222), the communication session with the network 1 It can be established (step 4224 and step 4226).

In a further embodiment, the start-up by the public safety authorities resource is based on the TPA until a public safety net when all new resource reservation requests and monitors the contact, at least a resource capacity threshold level down again received from DPC (902) which may ensure that they are provided for the request. Public safety net is able to receive a resource reservation request from the DSC (910b) and may determine whether (block 3810), a resource inquiry from TPA- authorized device (decision block 312). If the resource request from a TPA- authorized device (i.e., decision block 312 = "YES"), DSC (910b) is non--TPA communication session, such as the second user of the connection can terminate the communication session, and (block 314 ), can be connected to the TPA call (block 315). DSC (910b) is also monitoring the available bandwidth can be re-used by returning to block 3602 vs. resources of 50. the wireless device other than the message is a resource reservation device 101 from being received (i.e., decision block 312 = "NO"), public safety net is greater than the secondary resource to the user by using the time to be used for re-calls the block may be (block 5302).

In one embodiment, using a wireless device that is joined to the network providers other than the network provider for the public safety personnel TPA- is capable to establish a communication session with public safety net, a net for public safety authorities have received a provider, may be provided with a station number and access PIN that informed about the request to transfer the communication session to the public safety net. Using the station number and PIN, the public safety user is using the device, even when any device is considered to be a secondary user of the wireless device 101 of the above public safety net it has access to a public safety net.

As illustrated in Figure 54 to Figure 56, the authorized public security administrator when there is a need to establish a particular air safety net and connected, using any unauthorized wireless device 101 of the network 1 and the special station, such as * may apply for the call by dialing 272 (block 5402). DSC (910a) it is able to receive and process the call, and (block 5404), this station can be identified as a request for transmitting a communication session to public safety net (block 5406). DSC (910a) may send the PIN request to the wireless device 101 (block 5408). Wireless device 101 may receive a PIN request (block 5410), the PIN request using a graphical user interface (GUI) to be displayed to the user, receiving a user input of a PIN (block 5412). The wireless device 101 may send a DSC (910a) for processing an input PIN (block 5414). DSC (910a) may receive the PIN, and (block 5416), and send a request for a transfer network to the DPC (902) with the PIN (block 5418). DPC (902) has received it (block 5420), the PIN request, the transfer network may determine whether the PIN matches the database (i.e., decision block 318). PIN The PIN database in the entry with a matching case (ie, decision block 318 = "No"), DPC (902) calls the block can have (block 5302). PIN The PIN database in the entry matches not do (that is , decision block 308 = "NO"), DPC (902) can identify the target secure public network on the basis of the received PIN (block 5422).

As illustrated in Figure 55, DPC (902) may determine whether wireless device 101 of the first network includes a technique compatible with the target air safety net (block 5424). When the device and the public safety net is not compatible with the technical (i.e., decision block 5424 = "No"), DPC (902) may send back to the device to network incompatibility message via DSC (910a) (block 5426) . DSC (910a) is a relay network incompatibility message (block 5428), it may terminate the connection to the wireless device 101 (block 5432). the wireless device 101 is received (block a network compatible message 5430), displays a message to the user (block 5434), may terminate the connection with the network 1 (block 5436). when available, the device and the public safety net technology compatible (that is, decision block 5424 = "Yes"), DPC (902) is a resource reservation request having a PIN can be sent to the public safety net DSC (910b) (block 5438). DSC has (910b) may receive a resource reservation request having a PIN (block 5440).

That is, without coordinating such operations / interactions, can not be the ability to efficiently allocate resources caused the effective use of resources by the tenant network. Additionally, without coordinating the interactions between the radio network is used over that do not have access to new resources available, or due to the congestion problems that may be due to the consumption of resources or stratification assigned priority process is called service / by having the session ends, the subscriber experience can be reduced. Stratification The priority assignment process is the invention of the name is "Method and System for Providing Tiered Priority Access to Communication Network Resources" and 2008 nyeon 11 APRIL 18, filed United States Patent Application Serial No. 12/273, 146 call, and the invention of the name is " Method and System for Providing Tiered Access to Communication Network Resources "and on October 31, 2012 filed US Patent Application No. 13/664 819 No. discussed in detail there is, the entire contents of which are included herein as a reference is.

Figure 58 is to illustrate the flow of information and the functional components within an embodiment DSA system 5800, the system includes a DPC (5802) component / server is configured to tune to more than one DSC (5804a, 5804b) .

As with reference to FIGS. 9 and 57 similar to the various systems discussed above DSA, DSA system 5800 may include a lessor radio network 5806 and the tenant radio network (5808). Landlord radio network 5806 may be coupled to the OMC 1 / NMS (5810a) components that may be coupled to claim 1 DSC (5804a) component. Similarly, the tenant wireless networks (5808) can be coupled to the OMC 2 / NMS (5810b) components that may be coupled to claim 2 DSC (5804b) component.

Claim 1 DSC (5804a) component may be coupled to claim 2 DSC (5804b) components directly and / or via the DPC (5802) component. DPC (5802) components are DSC (5716a, 5716b) is configured to coordinate the operation of performing the network configuration information sharing on the other coordinating operations, such as DPC / DSC level outside and sub-facilitating the outside permission area dynamic lease behavior It can be made.

Figure 59 is a geographic zone-grid illustrates the functional components in the exemplary embodiment DSA system configured to divide a similar data structure. DSA system (5900) is may perform an auction / intervention operations, as a result of this operation - the successful bidder for the geographical area (two whole network, area, cell site, sector, sub, which can include the sector, etc.) and causing, by dividing a geographical area in a grid or a grid having a permitted zone, including a number of cells, section, line and / or heat so that the resource can be assigned to a faster and more efficient.

In the example illustrated in Figure 59, the grid includes a permission section (5902) having a first area (area 1) (5904) and the second region (region 2) 5906. First and second regions (5904, 5906) each of which can be divided into one or more cell site level (5910), each cell site level 5910 may include one or more sectors or cells, a grid area (5908) , and each sector or cell grid area (5908) is one or more sub-sections may include a cell grid area 5910. In the illustrated example, a first region (5904) comprises a cell site level 5912 area, the second area 5906 is a sector / cell grid area (5908) and sub-include sections cell grid area 5910 do.

DSA system (5900) may perform auction / intervention operations to cause the successful bidder for the geographic zone. The winner may want to take advantage of the resources obtained in large arbitration process and / or can be moved to the specified subscriber rent inmang. Similarly, when the allocated resource is consumed or the back-off process disclosed, DSA system (5900) may be required to turn over the subscriber to another wireless network for the duration tenant network or service / session. In various embodiments, these and other operations are the geographical areas associated grid-grid to divide a similar data structure, and the allocation to allocate resources to the various networks, deallocation, and re-DSA system that uses similar data structure ( may be carried out through 5900).

DSA system may require the appropriate information to identify which are allowed into the cell site / sector, or so that it extends to advance the current location of the subscriber and the subscriber in the tenant or landlord out networks. However, the location of these sites / sector not always be the same for both the landlord and the tenant network. Divide the geographical zone to the grid by using a grid in order to allocate resources to various radio networks, the cell site / various embodiments DSA system even position are not the same in both the tenant and the landlord network of the sector is the subscriber landlord networks in you can advance or out.

FIG. 60 is a tenant network (ie, site tower (6002a to 6002c, 6006)) is the location of cell towers or cell sites landlord networks (ie, site tower (6004a to 6004c, 6006)) in the location of the cell site / sector with It illustrates that may not be the same. If such a site / sector is not located in the cavity, for determining whether a particular UE to be handed over to any site / sector can not be determined from the neighbor PLMN list generated by the subscriber unit. Moreover, even if such a site / sector is located in the cavity, that the specific configuration may not be able to lead the same coverage area, or other performance criteria. Various embodiments grid to allocate the resources allocated to the various networks, deallocation, and re-produce and use a similar data structure to overcome these and other limitations. In one embodiment, it can be obtained during this particular bid section, when moving to a different wireless network, or treat the subscriber or resource may be used by the DSA system to handle all of the coverage area, and geographic region.

If the tenant DSA component is the winner in the auction / tender processors, renters corresponding network resources are available, such as RF traffic and bandwidth resources to be consumed (Mbit) can be assigned to the tenant. In one embodiment, the resource geographic boundaries (e.g., where the resources are requested), authorized zones, outer zones, cell / sector area, the sub-sector cell zone, time (for example, when resources are available), and the duration may be further defined within the network via the landlord (e.g., whether the resource is used for how long).

Figure 61 illustrates the DSA method of an embodiment 6100 for allocating resources in the DSA system. DSA operation of method 6100 may be performed by one or more servers, one or more processors in a network element included in any of the systems discussed above DSA system. In the example illustrated in Figure 61, DSA method 6100 DSA containing tenant bidder networks 6102, the dynamic policy controller (DPC) (6104) component, and the landlord dynamic spectrum control (DSC) (6106) component It is performed within the system. The bidder tenant network 6102 includes a tenant DSC (6108) component and bidders (6110) component.

In the operation (6112) of the method 6100, the bidder 6110 component by sending a resource request message to the DPC (6104) components, there are any resources available in the landlord networks that are compatible with the tenant network 6102 if it can be determined. In the operation (6114), DPC (6104) component is sending a resource query message to the landlord DSC (6106) component, can be queried for the availability of resources in the network corresponding to the lessor and / or compatibility. In the operation (6116), the landlord DSC (6106) components can send a resource query response to the DPC (6104) component, the response is used in the use and compatible with the tenant network 6102 by the tenant network 6102 to identify the resources available in the network, the landlord shall contain sufficient information. In the operation (6118), DPC (6104) component may send a communication message that indicates that there are resources available for use by the tenant network 6102 to the bidders (6110) component.

In operation 6120, the bidder 6110 component by sending a resource request message to the DPC (6104), may request the tenant network 6102 to one or more of the identified resources available for use by the. In the operation (6122), DPC (6104) component may send a resource reservation request message to the landlord DSC (6106) component. In the operation (6124), the landlord DSC (6106) component is bidder 6110 reserve a resource requested by a component, and may send a communication message notifying that a resource has been reserved for the DPC (6104) component.

In the operation (6126), bidders (6110) components may be sent to the DPC ipchalreul resources (6104). In the operation (6128), DPC (6104) component may send a bid acceptance message.

In one embodiment, the operation (6126 and 6128) can be carried out as part of a resource auction performed in the DSA system (6100). That is, available between 9 and as described with reference to the 10 discussed above, in one embodiment, DSA system automatically determines the RF spectrum amount of resources available in the landlord network, and a plurality of network operator / provider It may perform an auction for the RF spectrum resources. DSA system may select the tenant network (6102) as being capable of receiving the RF spectrum resources available, which is used for a considerable period of time by lease if excess (temporarily or permanently) RF spectrum resources chogoga bidder otherwise not to exceed RF spectrum resources can go and do while in landlord to use the network efficiently, it allows the tenant network (6102) rental RF spectrum resources in the city and / or market needs at competitive prices.

In the operation (6130), DPC (6104) components can send a communication message to the landlord DSC (6106) component, to the message bidder 6110 configured bid the landlord DSC (6106) notifies that the accept from the element and instructed to allocate the resources reserved tenants network (6102). In the operation (6132), the landlord DSC (6106) component it may send a message indicating that the communication resource is allocated to DPC (6104). In the operation (6134), DPC (6104) component is a message notifying that the communication resource is allocated can be sent to the bidders (6110) component. In the operation (6136), DPC (6104) components are resource is allocated can be sent a message notifying that the communication can start the use of the resources allocated to the tenant DSC (6108).

Operating in (6112) to action (6136), DSA information, as well as between the tenant DSC (6108) and DPC (6104) is shared between the landlord DSC (6106) and DPC (6104), (for example, operation (6126) to in the operation (6128)) can facilitate the implementation of a successful arbitration large bids. In one embodiment, the landlord and the tenant DSC (6106, 6108) has information related to the home and visited network configuration can be shared via the DPC (6104). Such information may include the location of the cell site within the bidding zone, knowledge of the network congestion or reduced network capacity, a potential target in the presence of a suitable back-off process with the cell site and the like in the lessor networks.

If at block (6138), and assigned a requested resource / or otherwise made available for use by the tenant network 6102. In order to use the allocated resources, the tenant network 6102 can generate a variety of devices (e.g., UE), and to the hand to the lessor networks. The tenant network 6102 also to perform additional operations can ensure the maximum utilization of the appropriate traffic offloading and lessor of the radio resource, the operation includes the network sharing operations.

DSA information by DSC are shared between the landlord and tenant between DSC and DPC as well as to facilitate the implementation of DPC successful arbitration large bids. Specifically, there through the DPC needs the landlord and tenant DSC to share information related to the home and visited network configuration, the information with a potential target cell site within the knowledge or lessor networks for any congestion (reduced capacity) as well as the presence of an appropriate back-off process and a location of the cell site within the bidding zone.

To use the landlord's resources became tenants are available, successful tenant creates a lessor network after a successful bid and to be capable of renters network in hand, which is best utilized by the maximum utilization of traffic offloading and landlord radio resource tenants It is to ensure.

However, the network is a non-shared primary user, gatneunde limitations on the traffic control, the hand, the hand-out and generated for visits the UE device, it can take advantage of a primary wireless network. By a successful arbitration process to large tenant UE is to facilitate utilizing the landlord networks, there is a need for a specific feature DSC / DPC in the DSA process be defined.

Role of the DSC can be to provide a tender and local command and control of the arbitration process large. Role of DPC can be provided not only to facilitate the coordination between the various policies DSC direction on DSC. This can be accomplished by using the mapping cross each other a network coverage area, or cell site location. In other words, the tenant DSC may be configured to obtain the location of the associated auction process and the lessor of the cell site to the lessor of the hand of a cell site or to create a cell site. More specifically, in the DSC tenant and landlord network is configured to communicate with each other through the DPC could choose the most appropriate cell-site for the transition of the UE when the tenant between networks. This is important for a number of reasons, for example because it is usually configured to the UE, if you are not instructed to change the network UE remains on the primary network.

In various embodiments, DSC component may be configured to provide a bidding and local command and control of the arbitration large process, DPC component that facilitates coordination among multiple DSC of a variety of wireless networks that are included in the DSA system will not only it may be configured to provide a policy direction on DSC. In one embodiment, this bidding process and associated to the hand to the network coverage area, or cell site location (e.g., over the grid-like structure) is accomplished by cross-mapped to each other, the lessor of the cell site to the generation or the cell site there location information related to the lessor of the DSC cell sites that can be acquired network of tenants.

In one embodiment, the tenant DSC (6108) is selected for the DPC (6104) landlord DSC (6108) tenant UE during transition of the leverage between and be able to communicate, the most appropriate cell both network sites via.

In one embodiment, the tenant DSC can be configured to provide the necessary communication with the tenant network, the communication is indicated by a set of a particular UE from the UE utilizing the landlord or tenant network asked network within a specific geographical area.

In one embodiment, the cross-mapping of the network information can be controlled through a DPC / DSC configuration, the configuration is guaranteed to be permitted the tenant UE identified by the lessee to take advantage of resources obtained from the DSA auction / arbitration large process can. With this geographical area boundary, the UE all tenants to take advantage of the resources landlord may itjineun in the right geographic area take advantage of the resources. For example, the UE may be located within the tenant not within the geographic boundary for the bidding zone areas. Thus, with knowledge of where the boundary of the geographic zone in combination with the location of the bid tenant cell site may require the presence position of the tenant UE.
