1. An electronic device, comprising:

  • an interface circuit that is configured to communicate with a radio node and a cellular-telephone network, wherein the electronic device is configured to;

    determine a location of the electronic device;

    provide, to an output node of the electronic device, information that specifies the location for the cellular-telephone network, wherein the information is associated with a first connection to the cellular-telephone network;

    receive, from an input node of the electronic device, mapping information; and

    when the mapping information indicates that there are available channels in associated bands of frequencies at the location, wherein a given available channel has not be dynamically allocated by a spectrum allocation server in the bands of frequencies;

    perform, via the input node, a scan of the available channels in the associated bands of frequencies, wherein the available channels are a subset of the bands of frequencies; and

    establish, via the input node and the output node, a second connection with the radio node based on scan results, wherein the bands of frequencies comprise a shared-license-access band of frequencies and the second connection is in the shared-license-access band of frequencies; and

    wherein the shared-license-access band of frequencies is shared by the radio node with another user that has higher priority than the radio node and unavailable channels in the shared-license-access band of frequencies are allocated by the spectrum allocation server to the other user.
