1. A spectrum access system (SAS) comprising:
a transceiver configured to receive information indicating a path loss from an interior location of a structure to an exterior location in response to a first base station being installed at the interior location, the path loss being determined based on an observed signal strength at the exterior location concurrently with the transceiver transmitting at a maximum permitted power level; and
a processor configured to: determine an aggregate interference level for an incumbent proximate the exterior location based on the path loss, allocate at least one channel to the first base station based on the aggregate interference level, and allocate two carriers that are separated by a predetermined bandwidth associated with the incumbent so that the presence of the incumbent does not disable both carriers.
