CO-EXISTENCE-AWARE COMMUNICATION IN SHARED SPECTRUM

摘要

Techniques for co-existence between wireless Radio Access Technologies (RATs) and related operations in shared spectrum are disclosed. Operation on a communication medium shared between RATs may be managed by a transceiver configured to operate in accordance with a first RAT and to monitor the medium for signaling associated with a second RAT. A medium analyzer may be configured to determine one or more Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) parameters of a TDM communication pattern associated with the second RAT based on the monitored signaling. A transmission controller may be configured to set one or more transmission parameters for the first RAT based on the determined one or more TDM parameters. The transceiver may be further configured to transmit on the medium in accordance with the one or more transmission parameters.

主权项

1. An apparatus for managing operation on a communication medium shared between Radio Access Technologies (RATs), comprising:
a transceiver configured to operate in accordance with a first RAT and to monitor the medium for signaling associated with a second RAT; a medium analyzer configured to determine one or more Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) parameters of a TDM communication pattern associated with the second RAT based on the monitored signaling, the TDM communication pattern defining activated periods and deactivated periods of communication over the medium in accordance with the second RAT; and a transmission controller configured to set one or more transmission parameters for the first RAT based on the determined one or more TDM parameters, wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit on the medium in accordance with the one or more transmission parameters.
