In an embodiment, a method may include transmitting, by a priority access user, one or more registration request messages to a spectrum access system. The method may further include receiving, by the priority access user, one or more registration response messages from the spectrum access system. The one or more registration response messages may contain an indication that the spectrum access system has time granular sharing capability. The method may further include transmitting, by the priority access user, one or more heartbeat messages to the spectrum access system. The one or more heartbeat messages may contain an indication of a heartbeat interval. The method may further include receiving, by the priority access user, one or more heartbeat response messages from the spectrum access system. The heartbeat response messages may contain an indication of a heartbeat interval that is longer than the indication of the one or more heartbeat messages.
