INTERFERENCE MANAGEMENT BETWEEN OVERLAPPING NETWORKS

摘要

This invention concerns the situation where there are plural networks (10') and (22') operating in the same environment, and where the networks spatially overlap (30'), for instance where the networks are co-located. In a first aspect the invention is a method for managing interference between these networks. The method comprises transmitting a priority data package (50) comprising at least a first priority data block and a second priority data block At least one of the priority data blocks are coded (86) before transmission using a code (88) that differentiates the priority data package (50) to mitigate interference. This is important since the priority data in the priority data package (50) is required to inform nodes of the network (10') how they can transmit data correctly. Further aspects of the invention are a network, transmitter such as a controller, node and priority data package.
