1. A method comprising:
- determining, by a first wireless node in a first wireless network, that spectral resource needs for the first wireless network exceed spectral resources currently available for the first wireless network; and
sending, to a second wireless node in a second wireless network, a request to borrow one or more resource units, the request being based on the determining.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are various example methods and apparatuses. According to one example, a method may include determining, by a first wireless node in a first wireless network, that spectral resource needs for the first wireless network exceed spectral resources currently available for the first wireless network. The method may further include sending, to a second wireless node in a second wireless network, a request to borrow one or more of the one or more resource units, the request being based on the determining.

44. A method comprising:
-
a first process comprising; sending, by a first wireless node in a first wireless network, to a second wireless node in a second wireless network, a first spectral resource change map requesting to borrow one or more resource units; receiving, from the second wireless node, a negotiation resource unit map, the negotiation resource unit map having been sent to the first wireless node in response to the first spectral resource change map and indicating resource units which the second wireless network may loan to the first network; and compiling a global resource unit map based on the negotiation resource unit map; and a second process comprising; sending a second spectral resource change map to the second wireless node requesting to borrow one or more resource units; and auctioning to borrow one or more resource units from the second wireless node based on the compiled global resource unit map.
