Various embodiments comprise systems, methods, architectures, mechanisms and apparatus for allocating resources in a converged network to support, illustratively, Long Term Evolution (LTE) Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) transmission for supplemental downlink mode. Various embodiments contemplate allowing LTE eNBs having CBSD capability to use spectrum normally associated with a wireless access point (WAP) if such spectrum can be made available based on, for example, WiFi spectrum or channel measurements of interference such as provided by UE proximate the WAP and connected to the CBSD.
