Abstract

An information handling system includes an application processor that executes instructions to determine one or more communication link options and a wireless adapter that communicates with a conditional shared spectrum wireless link option. The application processor determines whether a higher priority user is occupying the conditional shared spectrum wireless link option and determines an optimal wireless link from among the communication link options, including any available conditional shared spectrum wireless link options, and selects a wireless link from among the wireless link options based on a spatial-temporal radio frequency profile that indicates signal quality for wireless links available at the location and a spatial-temporal user profile, including wireless service usage trend data for the location.

Claims (50)

1. An information handling system comprising:

an application processor executing instructions for determining one or more communication link options;

a wireless adapter for communicating with a conditional shared spectrum wireless link option;

the application processor for determining whether a higher priority user is occupying the conditional shared spectrum wireless link option; and

the application processor for determining an optimal wireless link from among the communication link options, including any available conditional shared spectrum wireless link options, by selecting a wireless link from among the wireless link options based on a spatial-temporal radio frequency profile indicating signal quality for wireless links available at a location zone or given time of a mobile information handling system configured to wirelessly communicate on the one or more wireless communication link options and a spatial-temporal user profile comprising wireless service usage trend data for a user of the mobile information handling system for the location zone or given time.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

the application processor determining communication link option preference selections by the user for communication with a recipient user.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wireless adapter transmits a command to the mobile information handling system to submit a request for access to the selected wireless link.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the spatial-temporal radio frequency profile indicating wireless link ratings further comprises end to end latency data for wireless links available with a recipient user.

5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

the application processor determining that no higher priority user is occupying the conditional shared spectrum wireless link option; and

the application processor selecting a highly-rated, conditional shared spectrum wireless link ahead of alternative available wireless links as the selected, highly rated wireless link.

6. The system of claim 5 , further comprising:

the application processor measuring bit error rates during service usage on the selected conditional shared spectrum wireless link at the location zone; and

the application processor updating the signal quality data for the conditional shared spectrum wireless link in the spatial-temporal radio frequency profile.

7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

wireless adapter having a TV whitespace interface system for communicating with an access control node for conditional shared spectrum wireless link option that is a TV whitespace shared spectrum.

8. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

wireless adapter having a 3.5 GHz interface system for communicating with an access control node for conditional shared spectrum wireless link option that is a 3.5 GHz shared spectrum.

9. A computer implemented method comprising:

accessing, via a processor, a mobile broadband traffic report comprising a spatial-temporal radio frequency profile indicating signal quality for wireless links at a location zone or given time for a mobile information handling system configured to wirelessly communicate on one or more wireless communication link options;

accessing a spatial-temporal user profile comprising wireless service usage trend data for a user of the mobile information handling system the location zone or given time for the mobile information handling system;

determining the one or more wireless communication link options, including conditional shared spectrum wireless link options, via an application processor executing instructions; and

selecting a highly-rated wireless link from among the one or more wireless communication link options wherein the selection is based on the spatial-temporal radio frequency profile indicating signal quality for available wireless links at the location zone or during the given time for the mobile information handling system and the spatial-temporal user profile comprising wireless service usage trend data for the user of the mobile information handling system for the location zone or during the given time.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

determining whether a higher priority user is occupying the conditional shared spectrum wireless link option.

11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

transmitting a request for access to the selected highly-rated wireless link via a wireless adapter.

12. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

determining that no higher priority user is occupying the conditional shared spectrum wireless link option; and

selecting a highly-rated, conditional shared spectrum wireless link ahead of alternative available wireless links as the selected, highly rated wireless link.

13. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

measuring quality of service (QoS) metrics during service usage on the selected conditional shared spectrum wireless link; and

updating the signal quality data for the conditional shared spectrum wireless link in the spatial-temporal radio frequency profile.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the spatial-temporal radio frequency profile indicating signal quality further comprises data indicating power consumption for wireless services across the wireless link.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein the conditional shared spectrum is selected from TV whitespace shared spectrum or 3.5 GHz shared spectrum.

16. A mobile information handling system comprising:

an application processor executing instructions for determining one or more communication link options, including available conditional shared spectrum wireless link options;

a wireless adapter for communicating with a conditional shared spectrum wireless link option;

the application processor for determining an optimal wireless link from among the one or more communication link options by selecting a highly-rated wireless link from among the one or more wireless link options based on a spatial-temporal radio frequency profile indicating signal quality for wireless links available at a location zone or a given time for the mobile information handling system configured to wirelessly communicate on the one or more wireless communication link options and a spatial-temporal user profile comprising wireless service usage trend data for a user of the mobile information handling system at the location zone or during the given time; and

a wireless adapter transmitting a request for access to the selected, highly-rated wireless link.

17. The system of claim 16 , further comprising:

the application processor for determining whether a higher priority user is occupying the conditional shared spectrum wireless link option.

18. The system of claim 16 , further comprising:

the application processor determining that no higher priority user is occupying the conditional shared spectrum wireless link option; and

the application processor selecting a highly-rated, conditional shared spectrum wireless link ahead of alternative available wireless links as the selected, highly-rated wireless link.

19. The system of claim 18 , further comprising:

the application processor measuring end to end latency during service usage on the selected conditional shared spectrum wireless link at the location zone of the mobile information handling system; and

the application processor updating the signal quality data for the conditional shared spectrum wireless link in the spatial-temporal radio frequency profile.

20. The system of claim 16 , wherein the conditional shared spectrum is selected from TV whitespace shared spectrum or 3.5 GHz shared spectrum.
