IDENTIFICATION-BASED CHANNEL SELECTION

This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for determining one or more frequency channels for use in wireless communication. Some implementations more specifically relate to determining one or more frequency channels for unlicensed wireless communication in a frequency band also used for licensed wireless communication, such as a 6 GHz frequency band. In one aspect, a database system is configured to store information associated with existing wireless systems or links including the locations of such systems as well as characteristics of the wireless signals they transmit. In another aspect, a wireless communication device is configured to determine its location, transmit its location to a database system, and receive information from the database system usable to determine a frequency channel on which to communicate. In another aspect, a wireless communication device is configured to transmit a request including a unique identifier (ID) to a database system and to receive information from the database system usable to determine a non-blacklisted frequency channel on which to communicate.
