Abstract

A system and method for managing spectrum micro-leases of a portion of a geographic area associated with a micro area network and based on a spectrum lease of a wireless spectrum of a wide area network covering the geographic area. A system includes a processor and a database having an information store. The information store is configured to store an accounting record of all spectrum leases, including micro-leases, the accounting record including a location of the spectrum lease and a description of the border of the geographic area associated with the spectrum lease. The processor is configured to manage one or more micro-leases of the portion of the geographic area, and configured to receive and detect a network ID being used by the wide area network, and which informs the micro area network of the network ID. The micro area network then broadcasts the wide area network ID in addition to the micro network ID, allowing users of the wide area network to access the micro area network.
