1. A method, comprising:
granting shared spectrum use rights to wireless stations in a wireless network;
identifying operation proximate at least some of the wireless stations in an environment of the wireless network of a priority user of a shared spectrum;
using incumbent informer provider (IIP) data to generate a propagation model of spectral and temporal use of the shared spectrum by the priority user;
identifying, within at least the wireless stations proximate the priority user, one or more groups of similarly located wireless stations;
determining, for each group of wireless stations, a spectrum grant modification that would avoid interference with the priority user; and
updating respective spectrum grants of each wireless station within a group of wireless stations in accordance with the spectrum grant modification determined for the group.
