Device discovery on white space frequencies

摘要

A method of wireless communication includes receiving a first signal on a first channel, determining a second channel based on the first signal, receiving a second signal on the second channel, and communicating with a wireless device on the second channel based on a quality of the second signal.

主权项

1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
receiving a first signal on a first channel in a set of white space channels, the first signal being a secondary pilot received from a wireless device on the first channel for discovery of the wireless device, the secondary pilot including information about a second channel that is not a white space channel for receiving a primary pilot from the wireless device; determining the second channel based on the first signal; receiving a request to measure a signal quality of the secondary pilot; sending information on a signal quality of the primary pilot signal when the signal quality of the secondary pilot is greater than a threshold; receiving a second signal on the second channel; and communicating with the wireless device on the second channel based on a quality of the second signal.
