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.

First claim

What is claimed is:

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 the location and a spatial-temporal user profile comprising wireless service usage trend data for the location.

2 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
the application processor determining communication link option preference selections by a user for communication with a recipient user.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the wireless adapter transmits 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.

6 . The system of claim 5 , further comprising: is further adapted to:
the application processor measuring bit error rates during service usage on the selected conditional shared spectrum wireless link at the location; 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; accessing a spatial-temporal user profile comprising wireless service usage trend data for a location; determining one or more 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 communication link options wherein the selection is based on a spatial-temporal radio frequency profile indicating signal quality for available wireless links and a spatial-temporal user profile comprising wireless service usage trend data for a location.

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.

13 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising:
measuring 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 . An 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 communication 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 the location and a spatial-temporal user profile comprising wireless service usage trend data for the location; 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.

19 . The system of claim 18 , further comprising: is further adapted to:
the application processor measuring end to end latency during service usage on the selected conditional shared spectrum wireless link at the location; 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.
