1. A method, comprising:
receiving, at a spectrum access server (SAS), a Citizens Broadband Radio Service Device (CBSD) registration request including a source identification and Radio Type parameter associated with a requesting CBSD, the Radio Type parameter being indicative of whether the CBSD comprises a broadband CBSD or non-broadband CBSD;
in response to receiving a spectrum inquiry request from a registered non-broadband CBSD, configuring an available broadband spectral region as a plurality of available non-broadband spectral regions; and
in response to receiving a grant request from a non-broadband CBSD, granting to the requesting non-broadband CBSD an appropriately sized one of the plurality of available non-broadband spectral regions.
