The second application programming circuitry 803 may comprise a data stack 422 configured to interact with a corresponding data stack 442 of the central controller 440 via the second external API. The first application programming circuitry 802 may comprise a WiFi stack. The second application programming circuitry 803 may be coupled via an Internet Protocol (IP) interface 424 with the central controller 440 of the hierarchical communication system as shown in
The central controller 900 is a controller of a hierarchical communication system, in which a spectrum reserved for an Incumbent is usable by at least one user equipment (UE) for transmission when the spectrum is not required by the Incumbent, e.g. as described above with respect to
The processor 901 is configured to indicate an access point (AP) device (connected at the left side of
