1. A communication control device, comprising:
communication circuitry configured to
communicate with one or more base stations of a second wireless communication system, the second wireless communication system secondary using one or more frequencies of a first wireless communication system having a higher priority than the second wireless communication system, and
receive information indicating that the first wireless communication system should be protected; and
processing circuitry configured to
determine whether protection of the first wireless communication system is insufficient based on the received information,
in response to determining that protection of the first wireless communication system is insufficient, transmit, via the communication circuitry, to a base station of the one or more base stations, a signal indicating a request for a measurement report,
receive, via the communication circuitry, the measurement report from the base station, and
determine one or more frequency ranges to be used by the base station based on the received measurement report.
