Maximum transmission power in white spaces
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a location of a white space device;
determining an original probability with which a primary receiver would operate correctly at the location, wherein the original probability is determined without taking interference due to the white space device into account;
determining a maximum degradation to the original probability that the white space device may cause at the location, wherein the maximum degradation is based at least in part on an estimated signal quality of a primary system at the location; and
determining a maximum transmission power for the white space device based on the maximum degradation.

Abstract
In accordance with the example embodiments of the invention there is at least a method, apparatus, and executable computer program to receive a location of a white space device, determine an original probability with which a primary receiver would operate correctly at the location, wherein the original probability is determined without taking interference due to the white space device into account, determine a maximum degradation to the original probability that the white space device may cause at the location, wherein the maximum degradation is based at least in part on an estimated signal quality of a primary system at the location, and determine a maximum transmission power for the white space device based on the maximum degradation.
