Method of spatial band reuse in a multi-band communication system

摘要

A method of band multiplexing communications from a plurality of devices includes a rotation being established, by each device, between or among a plurality of frequency bands for transmission. A symbol set is transmitted from each device in each of the established transmission frequency bands and one device detects respective starting times of symbol sets for the other devices transmitting for one of the plurality of frequency bands. A starting time of a symbol set for the one device is selected based on the detected starting times for the other devices such that the selected start times limit interference between symbol sets transmitted by the one device and symbol sets transmitted by the other devices to less than a threshold level. The starting time of respective symbols is adjusted by the one device in subsequent transmissions for each of the established transmission frequency bands based on the selected starting time.
