PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for scheduling intra-frame quiet periods (QPs).SOLUTION: QPs are part of frames transmitted in a plurality of wireless regional area networks (WRANs) sharing a common channel. The method comprises: monitoring the common channel for a duration of at least a maximum SCW cycle length; checking if at least one coexistence beacon protocol (CBP) packet including at least one intra-frame QP scheduled by neighbor WRANs is detected on the common channel; and establishing an intra-frame QP schedule by setting intra-frame QP schedule fields in a modified superframe control header (SCH), where the established intra-frame QP schedule is substantially aligned with already scheduled QPs. |
