What does “disaggregating”, “partitioning” and “time slicing” spectrum mean?

This is useful in secondary market transactions (i.e. selling or leasing of spectrum access) to a third party. Since unused or under used spectrum can be separated from spectrum in use or otherwise unavailable to another user, more spectrum can be put into use.
