Network Node and Method for Handling Spectrum Bands in a Mobile Radio Communication System
First Claim
1. A method in a spectrum control node for handling spectrum bands for allocation to a mobile radio communication system, wherein the spectrum bands are shareable with a further radio system through a spectrum database node for managing information about usage of the spectrum bands, wherein the mobile radio communication system comprises the spectrum control node and a radio network node, the method comprising:
- determining a parameter value for indicating a condition pertaining to the radio network node, which condition relates to usage of at least one of the spectrum bands; and
when the parameter value exceeds a threshold value for the condition, whereby a need for handling at least one of the spectrum bands is indicated, sending, to the spectrum database node, a message for handling at least one of the spectrum bands.

Abstract
A spectrum control node (220) and a method therein for handling spectrum bands for allocation to a mobile radio communication system (200) are disclosed. The spectrum bands are shareable with a further radio system (201) through a spectrum database node (210) for managing information about usage of the spectrum bands. The mobile radio communication system (200) comprises the spectrum control node (220) and a radio network node (230). The spectrum control node (220) determines a parameter value for indicating a condition pertaining to the radio network node (230), which condition relates to usage of at least one of the spectrum bands. When the parameter value exceeds a threshold value for the condition, whereby a need for handling at least one of the spectrum bands is indicated, the spectrum control node (220) sends, to the spectrum database node (210), a message for handling at least one of the spectrum bands.
