System and method for interference free operation of co-located transceivers

摘要

Systems and methods for co-locating a plurality of transceivers capable of operating on the same frequency without interference are provided. The transmissions and/or receptions of the transceivers are coordinated in the time domain such that conflicting sectors are not utilized simultaneously, allowing for the transceivers to be physically located in close proximity without significant intra-system interference. The coordinating programs described herein allow for enhanced efficiency of spectral utilization as well as enhanced quality of service (QoS) through latency controls, rate control and traffic prioritization.

1. A panel system comprising:
a first panel device comprising a first processor, a transmitter, and a receiver, the first panel device capable of transmitting and/or receiving a first beam along a first sector chosen from a plurality of first sectors defining a first beam arc; and a second panel device co-located with the first panel device comprising a second processor, a transmitter, and a receiver, the second panel device capable of transmitting and/or receiving a second beam along a second sector chosen from a plurality of second sectors defining a second beam arc; wherein the first sector is located such that the transmitting and/or receiving of the first beam by the first panel device along the first sector would interfere with the transmitting and/or receiving of the second beam by the second panel device along the second sector; and wherein the first processor and the second processor are configured to communicate with each other via the first panel device and the second panel device, respectively to exchange time-based demand requirements of signal transmission or reception for at least one of the transmitter and receiver of each of the first panel device and second panel device, and in response to processing of the demand requirements, determine a schedule in the time domain for a plurality of future time slots to be available for the exclusive use by a respective one of the first and second panel devices for the at least one of future transmitting or receiving, said schedule being determined by a ratio (TA)/(TA+TB), where, TA and TB are the exchanged time-based demand requirements of the first and second panel devices, respectively, so as to prevent the future transmitting and/or receiving of the second beam along the second sector when the first panel device is transmitting and/or receiving the first beam along the first sector.
