Patent Images
1. A system for controlling allocation of wireless communication resources, comprising:
- a first resource control segment, and a first wireless communication interface connected to said first resource control segment;
a second resource control segment, and a second wireless communication interface connected to said second resource control segment, said second resource control segment and said second wireless communication interface provided together in a wireless mobile communication apparatus;
said first and second wireless communication interfaces cooperable to couple said first and second resource control segments for wireless communication; and
said first and second resource control segments cooperable for making a resource allocation decision with respect to a wireless communication session involving the wireless mobile communication apparatus, said resource allocation decision including a determination to use, or not to use, frequency spectrum other than frequency spectrum utilized by cellular operators, for additional communication between said first and second wireless communication interfaces.

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).
