Abstract

See full text

Spectrum harvesting methods and spectrum harvesters implementing such spectrum harvesting methods are disclosed. In some embodiments, multiple spectrum harvesters may be configured to scan a frequency band of interest in a distributed and staggered manner. The results obtained by the spectrum harvesters may be shared with each other according to a round-robin scheme. Distributed scanning and round-robin sharing techniques configured in accordance with the inventive concepts disclosed herein may allow the spectrum harvesters to jointly function as a continuous spectrum scanner capable of providing near real time spectrum harvesting.
