METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPTIMIZING SELECTION OF RADIO CHANNEL FREQUENCY AND ADAPTIVE CLEAR CHANNEL ASSESSMENT THRESHOLD FOR UNLICENSED SMALL CELL WWAN BASE STATION

摘要

A method includes selecting an optimal radio channel frequency via execution of code instructions of a channel selection and adaptive clear assessment management system to determine a weighted potential interference between each of a plurality of wireless links each operating on one of the plurality of available radio channel frequencies at a location based on a spatial-temporal radio frequency profile for each of the plurality of wireless links. The method further includes operating an unlicensed small cell WWAN base station on the optimal radio channel frequency. The determination of weighted potential interference between the plurality of wireless links each operating on one of the plurality of available radio channel frequencies within the shared communication frequency band will determine selection of the optimal radio channel frequency.
