A method (400) for scheduling self coexistence windows (SCWs), wherein SCWs are part of frames transmitted in wireless regional area networks (WRANs) sharing a common channel, comprises monitoring the common channel for a duration of at least a maximum SCW cycle length (S410); checking if at least one coexistence beacon protocol (CBP) packet (300) including at least one of SCWs and quiet periods (QPs) scheduled by neighbor WRANs is detected on the common channel (S420); and establishing a SCW schedule by setting SCW schedule fields in a modified superframe control header (SCH) (700), wherein the newly established SCW schedule does not conflict with any already scheduled SCWs and QPs (S440). |
