A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11889492B2) discloses a computerized method for operating a wireless receiver apparatus. The method involves scanning prescribed frequency bands, identifying base station apparatus operating on RF carriers, evaluating these base stations, generating reporting data, and transmitting it to the network radio controller. The data received is used to identify slots for accessing user data. The method also includes invoking discovery procedures based on service requests and schedules, evaluating base stations based on parameters like phase and amplitude, and transmitting data packets related to time division duplex slots.

Furthermore, the patent includes a computer-readable apparatus with instructions for a network radio controller to receive measurement data, identify base stations or individual beams, schedule data transmissions, and map services to maintain quality of service. It also schedules uplink data structures, transmits data packets for beam, frequency, and slot scheduling, and utilizes existing wireless propagation paths. Additionally, a base station apparatus is described for a wireless network infrastructure, receiving measurement data, processing it for transmission to the network controller, and establishing operation on RF carriers to enable access to downlink data from multiple base stations within the network infrastructure. The base station apparatus operates within a specific frequency range and complies with Citizens Broadband Radio Service protocols.
