1. An information storage apparatus, comprising:
- an input for coupling to an input information transfer path that originates at a wireless mobile communication apparatus, said input for, when coupled to said input information transfer path, receiving from the wireless mobile communication apparatus information, including identification of frequency channels available for transmitting information to and receiving information from the wireless mobile communication apparatus, for use in determining whether a desired wireless communication session with the wireless mobile communication apparatus will be established;
an information storage apparatus coupled to said input for storing said information;
an output for coupling to an output information transfer path that extends to a further wireless communication apparatus;
said information storage apparatus coupled to said output for providing said information to said output; and
said output for, when coupled to said output information transfer path, providing said information to the further wireless communication apparatus for use by the further wireless communication apparatus in determining whether the desired communication session will be established.

Abstract
Wirelessly-linked, distributed resource control (RCS1-RCSn, RCSB, RCC, ARM) supports a wireless communication system (50) for operation in non-exclusive spectrum (24–29). An available resource map (ARM) contains resource availability information gathered by mobile stations (MS1-MSn), and a wired communication channel supports sharing of resource control information among fixed-site stations (BS).

19. A method of storing information, comprising the steps of:
-
coupling an input to an input information transfer path that originates at a wireless mobile communication apparatus, said input for, when coupled to said input information transfer path, receiving from the wireless mobile communication apparatus information, including identification of frequency channels available for transmitting information to and receiving information from the wireless mobile communication apparatus, for use in determining whether a desired wireless communication session with the wireless mobile communication apparatus will be established; coupling an information storage apparatus to said input for storing said information; coupling an output to an output information transfer path that extends to a further wireless communication apparatus; coupling said information storage apparatus to said output for providing said information to said output; and selectively coupling said output to said output information transfer path to provide said information to the further wireless communication apparatus for use by the further wireless communication apparatus in determining whether the desired communication session will be established.

20. A method of storing information, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving from a wireless mobile communication apparatus information, including identification of frequency channels available for transmitting information to and receiving information from the wireless mobile communication apparatus, for use in determining whether a desired wireless communication session with the wireless mobile communication apparatus will be established; storing said information; and making said stored information available to access by another wireless communication apparatus for use by the another wireless communication apparatus in determining whether a desired communication session will be established.
