1. A system comprising:
a network access node comprising a first transceiver and first processing circuitry, the first processing circuitry configured to receive, via the first transceiver, a registration request from an electronic device and generate a spectrum grant request based on the registration request, the spectrum grant request comprising a usage parameter that indicates that the network access node is to communicate with the electronic device using a spectrum sharing operation, the usage parameter comprising a spectrum sharing flag; and
a spectrum access system comprising a second transceiver and second processing circuitry, the second processing circuitry configured to
receive, via the second transceiver, the spectrum grant request from the network access node,
determine a network operator associated with the network access node based on the spectrum grant request,
generate a channel allocation assignment based on the spectrum grant request and the network operator, and
transmit, via the second transceiver, the channel allocation assignment to the network access node.
