The invention relates to sharing a radio spectrum between a first radio
system and a second radio system which co-exist so that the radio
spectrum is shared at least locally. A radio access point of the first
radio system is provided with information on the co-existing second radio
system and the constraints it causes to user terminals operating in the
service area of the radio access point. The radio access point may
retrieve or obtain information about the other radio system by any
appropriate, such from a centralized database. Based on the information
the radio access point creates and broadcasts beacon or control
information to user terminals operating in the service area of the radio
access point, to thereby enable the user terminals to adjust their
operation so that they can co-exist with the second radio system. Thus,
there are two processes: information retrieval about another (second)
system and signalling of the spectrum sharing information.
