System and method for optimizing channel characteristics when initializing links between cognitive radios in a shared spectrum environment

摘要

Systems and methods to facilitate acquisition of specific operating parameters by a spoke radio device (104) via a hub radio device (102) while the hub radio device operates using specific operating parameters and the spoke radio device operates using generic operating parameters. The spoke radio device may acquire the generic operating parameters from a beacon broadcast by the hub radio device. If a link between a hub radio device and a spoke radio device cannot be satisfactorily established and maintained using the specific and generic operating parameters, respectively, then the hub radio device may use alternative channels and/or reduce its operational area to attempt to converge specific and generic transmit power levels for improved link establishment.
