DISTRIBUTED RADIO FREQUENCY SPECTRUM SHARING COORDINATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A system to allocate radio frequency spectrum, the system comprising:
- a spectrum broker server includinga communications interface; and
an electronic processor configured todetermine an available radio frequency spectrum allocation;
receive a spectrum request for the available radio frequency spectrum allocation at the communications interface, wherein the spectrum request is associated with a spectrum-consuming entity;
receive, from a plurality of validation nodes, a plurality of votes based on the spectrum request;
determine whether to grant the spectrum request based on the plurality of votes; and
responsive to determining to grant the spectrum request, allocate the available radio frequency spectrum allocation to the spectrum-consuming entity.

Abstract
Systems and methods for allocating radio frequency spectrum. One example system includes a spectrum broker server including a communications interface and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to determine an available radio frequency spectrum allocation. The electronic processor is configured to receive a spectrum request for the available radio frequency spectrum allocation at the communications interface, wherein the spectrum request is associated with a spectrum-consuming entity. The electronic processor is configured to receive, from a plurality of validation nodes, a plurality of votes based on the spectrum request. The electronic processor is configured to determine whether to grant the spectrum request based on the plurality of votes. The electronic processor is configured to, responsive to determining to grant the spectrum request, allocate the available radio frequency spectrum allocation to the spectrum-consuming entity.
