First Claim
1. A method for defining communication channel allocation, the method comprising:
- monitoring communication channel allocation commands associated with a first network, wherein the first network comprises a plurality of communication frequencies assigned by the communication channel allocation commands;
determining, in response to the monitoring, a set of communication frequencies that have been assigned to wireless devices associated with the first network; and
transmitting, in response to the determining, to at least one second network, a specification of unused communication frequencies within the plurality of communication frequencies.

Abstract
A method, wireless controller, and information processing system that define communication channel allocation. Communication channel allocation commands associated with a first network are monitored (102). The first network (102) comprises a plurality of communication frequencies assigned by the communication channel allocation commands. A set of communication frequencies are determined that have been assigned to wireless devices (108) associated with the first network (102) in response to the monitoring. A specification of unused communication frequencies within the plurality of communication frequencies are transmitted to a second network (104) in response to the determining.
