Abstract
In general, this disclosure relates to techniques for transmitting data using one or more identified channels of a spectrum. One example method comprises identifying, with a first communication device, at least one channel currently available in a digital broadcast spectrum, and receiving, with the first communication device, data sent from a second communication device. The method further comprises transmitting the data from the first communication device in the at least one identified channel of the digital broadcast spectrum, wherein the transmitted data complies with a digital broadcast format.
