AVOIDING BEACON CONFLICTS IN MULTI-RADIO PLATFORMS

摘要

In a multi-radio platform that operates in two networks, both the announced beacon intervals and the actual beacon intervals in one network may be periodically increased and decreased in defined amounts so that the beacons will not overlap scheduled communications with the other network. The determination of how much and how often to adjust these beacon intervals may be based, at least partially, on the minimum increments in which the beacons intervals are permitted to be adjusted, and on the scheduled communications intervals of the other network.
