Abstract: Embodiments of a Spectrum Access System (SAS) controller, Evolved Node-B (eNB) and methods for allocation of shared spectrum are disclosed herein. The SAS controller may receive an indicator that a group of channels in the shared spectrum are available for secondary usage. The SAS controller may allocate one or more channels in the group to eNBs for usage in one or more census tracts. The census tracts may include interior and exterior portions, in some cases. Fractional frequency reuse (FFR) techniques may be used in accordance with the interior and exterior portions of the census tracts for allocation of the channels. Channels may be allocated for Priority Access License (PAL) usage and/or General Authorized Access (GAA) usage, in some cases.
