1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
determining, by one or more processors, a signal quality indicator value for a wireless client device using one or more wireless signals;
determining, by the one or more processors, one or more spectrum blanking ranges for the wireless client device, the one or more spectrum blanking ranges restricting wireless frequencies in the one or more spectrum blanking ranges from being assigned to the wireless client device by a ground node, wherein the determining the one or spectrum blanking ranges includes;
determining a spectrum band used by a satellite serving a cell area of the ground node; and
determining the one or more spectrum blanking ranges for the wireless client device based on the spectrum band used by the satellite, wherein determining the spectrum band includes determining a location of the ground node and identifying the satellite serving the cell area from among a plurality of satellites based on the location of the ground node, each of the plurality of satellites using a different spectrum band;
determining, by the one or more processors, an assignable spectrum range for the wireless client device based on the signal quality indicator value and the one or more spectrum blanking ranges; and
assigning, by the one or more processors, a channel to the wireless client device using the assignable spectrum range.
