This disclosure is directed to a User Equipment, UE, for wireless operation in a shared spectrum system where spectrum can be reclaimed. The shared spectrum system is able to determine if a spectrum owner and at least one operator sharing spectrum from the spectrum owner can operate concurrently or simultaneously within the shared spectrum. If it is determined that the spectrum owner and at least one operator cannot operate concurrently or simultaneously within the shared spectrum, it is determined how to allow the spectrum owner to reclaim at least part of the shared spectrum while minimizing a negative impact on quality of service for the at least one operator. The UE is configured to receive and implement spectrum usage commands from the shared spectrum system.
