TRANSMISSION POWER REDUCTION FOR CO-EXISTENCE ON A SHARED COMMUNICATION MEDIUM

摘要

Techniques for co-existence on a shared communication medium are disclosed. In one example, transmission in accordance with a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) may be punctured on one or more active periods of a Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) communication pattern based on monitoring of signaling associated with a second RAT. In addition or as an alternative, a transmission power level of an access point for transmission in accordance with a first RAT may be reduced based on one or more signal timing characteristics of signaling associated with a second RAT.

1. A communication method, comprising:
transmitting a first signal at a first transmission power level and in accordance with a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) on a communication medium shared with a second RAT; monitoring second RAT signaling on the communication medium for one or more signal timing characteristics; reducing the first transmission power level to a second transmission power level based on the one or more signal timing characteristics; and transmitting a second signal at the second transmission power level and in accordance with the first RAT on the communication medium.
