Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for providing dynamic, prioritized spectrum utilization management. The system includes at least one monitoring sensor, at least one data analysis engine, at least one application, a semantic engine, a programmable rules and policy editor, a tip and cue server, and/or a control panel. The tip and cue server is operable utilize the environmental awareness from the data processed by the at least one data analysis engine in combination with additional information to create actionable data.

wherein the programmable rules and policy editor is in communication with the at least one server;

wherein the at least one application is in communication with the at least one server;

wherein the at least one application includes a survey occupancy application and a resource brokerage application, wherein the survey occupancy application is operable to determine occupancy in frequency bands and schedule occupancy in at least one frequency band, and wherein the resource brokerage application is operable to optimize resources to improve performance of at least one customer application and/or at least one customer device;

wherein the programmable rules and policy editor includes at least one rule and/or at least one policy, and wherein one or more of the at least one rule and/or the at least one policy is defined by at least one customer;

wherein each of the at least one customer application and/or the at least one customer device is assigned a priority; and

wherein the at least one server is operable to allocate the at least one frequency band in the electromagnetic spectrum based on the priority, the one or more of the at least one rule and/or the at least one policy, and the measured data.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a display device in communication with the at least one server, wherein the display device is operable to display a map of subscriber density.

3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a display device in communication with the at least one server, wherein the display device is operable to display a map of sector coverage.

4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a display device in communication with the at least one server, wherein the display device is operable to display a map of signal strength.

5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising an interference engine operable to identify interference between a first customer device of the at least one customer device and a second customer device of the at least one customer device.

6. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a geolocation engine operable to determine a location of at least one signal of interest based on an angle of arrival, a time difference of arrival, a frequency difference of arrival, and power distribution ratio measurements.

7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a machine learning engine operable to make a prediction about the electromagnetic environment, wherein the prediction includes forecasting future probabilities of interference for the electromagnetic environment.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one application further includes a certification and compliance application, wherein the certification and compliance application is operable to determine if the at least one customer application and/or the at least one customer device is behaving according to the at least one rule and/or the at least one policy.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one rule and/or the at least one policy includes at least one non-interference rule and/or at least one non-interference policy.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one server is operable to allocate the at least one frequency band in the electromagnetic spectrum to minimize interference between a first customer device of the at least one customer device and a second customer device of the at least one customer device.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the survey occupancy application is operable to preprocess at least two signals that exist in the same band based on interference between the at least two signals.

12. A system for prioritized spectrum utilization management in an electromagnetic environment comprising:

at least one monitoring sensor operable to monitor the electromagnetic environment and create measured data based on the electromagnetic environment;

at least one data analysis engine for analyzing the measured data;

at least one server; and
