TRANSMISSION PUNCTURING 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.

主权项

1. A communication method, comprising:
cycling operation of a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) between active periods and inactive periods of transmission, on a communication medium shared with a second RAT, in accordance with a Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) communication pattern; monitoring second RAT signaling on the communication medium; and puncturing transmission in accordance with the first RAT on one or more of the active periods of the DTX communication pattern based on the monitoring.
