1. An apparatus comprising a processor and memory, the memory including computer program code, wherein the memory and computer program code are configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to:

  • receive geographic location signalling associated with particular determined geographical locations of two or more white-space devices of a network;

    receive uncertainty indication signalling for respective uncertainties associated with the particular determined geographic locations of the two or more white-space devices, the uncertainty indication signalling indicative of respective uncertainty areas within which the two or more white-space devices may be respectively located according to errors associated with the way in which the particular determined geographical locations of the two or more white-space devices are determined;

    determine one or more channels available for use in communication by the respective two or more white-space devices in their particular determined geographical locations based on common channels available for use within the respective uncertainty areas associated with each of the white-space devices and the channels available for use within a defined geometric area over which the network intends to operate by using the geographic location signalling, the uncertainty indication signalling, and channel availability data configured to indicate one or more channels available for communication within a geographic region.
