1. A method of operating a private network, the method including:
obtaining, by a channel allocation device, first channel requirement information indicating a first bandwidth of a channel;
obtaining, by the channel allocation device, available channel information indicating a plurality of first Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) frequency bands and a plurality of first non-CBRS frequency bands available to be allocated to the channel;
selecting, by the channel allocation device, one or more of the first CBRS frequency bands and one or more of the first non-CBRS frequency bands based on the first channel requirement information;
generating, by the channel allocation device, first channel aggregation information indicating the one or more of the first CBRS frequency bands and the one or more of the first non-CBRS frequency bands selected based on the first channel requirement information;
generating, by the channel allocation device, first transmission power level information indicating one or more first transmission power levels respectively corresponding to the one or more of the first CBRS frequency bands and one or more first transmission power levels respectively corresponding to the one or more of the first non-CBRS frequency bands;
transmitting, by the channel allocation device, to an external device, the first channel aggregation information and the first transmission power level information;
receiving, by a first access point device, the first channel aggregation information and the first transmission power level information; and
transmitting, by the first access point device, first data in the channel using the one or more of the first CBRS frequency bands and the one or more of the first non-CBRS frequency bands based on the first transmission power level information.
