MINIMIZING INTERFERENCE BETWEEN COMMUNICATION NETWORKS

摘要

Methods, systems, and devices are described for minimizing mutual interference between networks that implement different protocols. In one embodiment, a first network device of a first network may exchange coexistence information with a second network device of a second network to determine whether to share resources or reduce transmit power based, at least in part, on the interference detected at the first network device from a transmission of the second network device. In one embodiment, both the first and the second network devices may independently and iteratively reduce their respective transmit power to minimize interference between the interfering networks. The first network device may reduce its transmit power based on an interference of the second network device and vice versa. In another embodiment, the network device with a lower priority may minimize its transmit power to reduce interference with the network device with a higher priority.

1. A method comprising:
detecting, at a first network device of a first communication network, a transmission of a second network device of a second communication network; determining, by the first network device, an interference associated with the second network device based, at least in part, on the transmission of the second network device; and determining, by the first network device, whether to reduce a transmit power of the first network device or to share a communication resource between the first network device and the second network device based, at least in part, on whether the interference associated with the second network device exceeds an interference threshold.
