ENABLING COEXISTENCE BETWEEN WIRELESS NETWORKS AND RADAR SYSTEMS

摘要

A method includes determining by a wireless access node of a wireless system whether the wireless system and a radar system are operating concurrently or will be operating concurrently within a predetermined time. Concurrent operation includes both the wireless system and the radar system using at least a portion of a wireless medium. Based on concurrent operation, a frame is configured to indicate to wireless devices using the wireless medium whether to release the wireless medium immediately or to release the wireless medium at a time in the future and the configured frame is transmitted toward the wireless devices. Apparatus and program products are also disclosed.
