Abstract

A spectrum management device, an electronic device, a radio communication method, and a storage medium. The spectrum management device is located in a coexistence system. The coexistence system includes at least two radio access networks using different radio access technologies. The spectrum management device includes a processing circuit, and is configured to: generate an interference overlapping graph for the coexistence system; and allocate spectrum resources for the at least two radio access networks according to the interference overlapping graph. By using the spectrum management device, the electronic device, the radio communication method, and the storage medium, spectrum resources can be reasonably allocated to a secondary system in the coexistence system comprising multiple radio access technologies.
