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.

Claims (44)

1. A system for dynamic, prioritized spectrum utilization management in an electromagnetic environment comprising:

at least one monitoring sensor operable to monitor the electromagnetic environment, thereby creating measured data;

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

at least one application; and

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 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 at least one server is in communication with the at least one data analysis engine and the application;

wherein the at least one server is operable to use analyzed data from the at least one data analysis engine to create actionable data;

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

wherein the survey occupancy application is operable to use the priority and the actionable data to dynamically allocate the at least one frequency band in the electromagnetic spectrum.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one monitoring sensor includes at least one antenna, at least one antenna array, at least one radio server, and/or at least one software defined radio.

3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a customer optimization module operable to send the actionable data to an operational engine for implementation of the actionable data.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the survey occupancy application is operable to determine occupancy in frequency bands.

5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a learning engine operable to learn the electromagnetic environment using machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning (DL), neural networks (NNs), artificial neural networks (ANNs), support vector machines (SVMs), Markov decision process (MDP), natural language processing (NLP), control theory, and/or statistical learning techniques.

6. 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.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the actionable data is used to generate at least one knowledge-based decision tree.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one server includes a tip and cue server.

9. A system for dynamic, prioritized spectrum utilization management in an electromagnetic environment comprising:

at least one monitoring sensor operable to monitor the electromagnetic environment, thereby creating measured data;

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

at least one application; and

at least one server;

wherein the at least one data analysis engine is operable to automatically detect at least one signal of interest and learn the electromagnetic environment;

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 at least one server is operable to use analyzed data from the at least one data analysis engine to create actionable data;

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

wherein the priority is used to allocate the at least one frequency band in the electromagnetic spectrum.

10. The system of claim 9 , further comprising a customer optimization module operable to send the actionable data to an operational engine for implementation of the actionable data.

11. The system of claim 9 , further comprising a learning engine operable to learn the electromagnetic environment using machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning (DL), neural networks (NNs), artificial neural networks (ANNs), support vector machines (SVMs), Markov decision process (MDP), natural language processing (NLP), control theory, and/or statistical learning techniques.

12. The system of claim 9 , 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 at least one rule and/or at least one policy.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one server includes a tip and cue server.

14. A method for dynamic, prioritized spectrum utilization management in an electromagnetic environment comprising:

monitoring the electromagnetic environment using at least one monitoring sensor, thereby creating measured data;

analyzing the measured data using at least one data analysis engine, thereby creating analyzed data;

determining occupancy in frequency bands and scheduling occupancy in at least one frequency band using a survey occupancy application;

optimizing resources to improve performance of at least one customer application and/or at least one customer device using a resource brokerage application;

assigning a priority to each of the at least one customer application; and
