1. A method of controlling spectrum use by a wireless radio system, comprising:
- obtaining a spectrum certificate, the spectrum certificate specifying a time window, a frequency-based spectral mask, a geography-based emission mask and a transmitted power limit, and wherein the spectrum certificate is a data object that obligates the wireless radio system to comply with the time window, the frequency-based spectral mask, the geography-based emission mask and the transmitted power limit of the spectrum certificate; and
carrying out wireless communications in accordance with the frequency-based spectral mask, the geography-based emission mask and the transmitted power limit during the time window.

Abstract
Transferring spectrum use rights may include ascertaining information regarding available spectrum for use in wireless communications. A request for spectrum use from a spectrum user system may be matched with available spectrum. A spectrum certificate may be issued to the spectrum user system, where the spectrum certificate contains at least one spectrum-related variable under which the spectrum user system is to engage in wireless communications.

15. A method of policing use of spectrum for wireless communications, comprising:
-
monitoring spectrum use in a geographic area to generate spectrum use data; analyzing the spectrum use data to identify operation of a wireless radio system that is not compliant with a combination of a time window, a frequency-based spectral mask, a geography-based emission mask and a transmitted power limit of a spectrum certificate that is issued to the wireless radio system, the spectrum certificate being a data object that obligates the wireless radio system to comply with the combination; and generating a violation alarm corresponding to the identified wireless radio system operation. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
