Self-coexistence of first and second wireless communication networks ( 200 ) is improved by transmitting a coexistence beacon from a first station ( 210, 220 ) of the first wireless communication network ( 200 ) to a first station ( 210, 220 ) of the second wireless communication network ( 200. The coexistence beacon includes information about a traffic reservation of the first station ( 210, 220 ) of the first wireless communication network ( 200 ). The first station ( 210, 220 ) of the second wireless communication network ( 200 ) may then use this information in a variety of ways to reduce data collisions between the two networks ( 200 ). It can communicate this information to a base station ( 210 ) of the second wireless communication network ( 200 ). The base station ( 210 ) of the second wireless communication network ( 200 ) can then use this information to more efficiently allocate frequency channels and/or time slots for future traffic reservations of the first station ( 220 ) of the second wireless communication network ( 200 ). |
