Assembly, and associated method, for facilitating frequency allocations in a radio communication system to attain statistical spreading of electromagnetic energy

摘要

Apparatus, and an associated method, by which to facilitate frequency channel allocation, and reallocation, in a radio communication system. Channel allocation and reallocation is effectuated to attain a desired statistical emission spectrum. Implementation is effectuated, for instance, in a WLAN system operable pursuant to the IEEE 802.11 standard but implemented in a 5 GHz frequency band.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
at least a first dynamic frequency selection message generator coupled to a communication station to form a portion thereof, said at least first dynamic frequency selection message generator configured to generate a dynamic frequency selection message, the dynamic frequency selection message indicating a changed frequency allocation by which to communicate subsequent data, the changed frequency allocation made to attain a selected statistical spreading of electromagnetic energy across a selected frequency range that contains the frequency allocation, wherein the dynamic frequency selection message generated by said dynamic frequency selection message generator is of values indicative of at least a first frequency selection of a frequency allocation change at which subsequent communications are to be made, and wherein the dynamic frequency selection message generated at said first dynamic frequency selection message generator is further of values indicative of at least a relative time at which the frequency allocation change at which the subsequent communications are to be made shall occur.
