Traditional frequency management divides the available frequency spectrum in small slices and assigns those slices to one or two homogeneous user groups [1]. Prior to this, compatibility studies are performed to avoid interference. The results of these studies are reflected in spectrum regulation and equipment standardization. This process is bureaucratic and time-consuming. Reallocating spectrum proves to be even more difficult [2]. As the compatibility studies have to consider peak use and peak propagation (maximum interference), the average spectrum use is low.
