Abstract

Claims (28)

1 . An apparatus for identifying open space in an electromagnetic spectrum comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory;

wherein the apparatus is operable to receive signal data of at least one signal measured by a sensor;

wherein the apparatus is operable to calculate a percent activity associated with open space in the electromagnetic spectrum; wherein identification of the open space is based upon predetermined frequencies, user-defined frequencies, and/or Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the open space is determined based on a dynamically adjustable interval.

3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein identification of the open space is automated.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein identification of the open space occurs in near-real time or real time.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is further configured to detect interference in the electromagnetic spectrum based on the signal data.

6 . An apparatus for identifying open space in an electromagnetic spectrum comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory;

wherein the apparatus is operable to calculate a percent activity associated with at least one open space in the electromagnetic spectrum based on measured signal data;

wherein the measured signal data includes energy measurements of at least one signal, at least one parameter of the at least one signal, and/or at least one change for the at least one signal; wherein the at least one open space is determined based on a dynamically adjustable interval.

7 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the apparatus is further configured to detect interference in the electromagnetic spectrum based on the measured signal data.

8 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein identification of the at least one open space occurs in near-real time or real time and/or is automated.

9 . A method for identifying open space in an electromagnetic spectrum comprising:

at least one apparatus including a processor and a memory receiving signal data over a network or the at least one apparatus creating the signal data using at least one integrated sensor;

calculating a percent activity associated with at least one open space in the electromagnetic spectrum;

wherein the signal data includes energy measurements of at least one signal, at least one parameter of the at least one signal, and/or at least one change for the at least one signal; wherein identification of the at least one open space is based upon predetermined frequencies, user-defined frequencies, and/or Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) bands.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the signal data is generated by the at least one apparatus sensing and measuring signals transmitted from at least one signal emitting device in the electromagnetic spectrum.

11 . The method of claim 9 wherein identification of the at least one open space is automated.

12 . The method of claim 9 wherein the at least one open space is determined based on a dynamically adjustable interval.

13 . The method of claim 9 , wherein identification of the at least one open space is displayed or visually indicated, in whole or in part, by the at least one apparatus.

14 . The method of claim 9 , wherein identification of the at least one open space occurs in near-real time or real time.

15 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising detecting interference in the electromagnetic spectrum based on the signal data.

16 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the at least one open space includes unused space or unlicensed spectrum.

17 . The method of claim 9 , the at least one open space includes white space.
