| 摘要 |
A method and apparatus for allowing communication units (100) to utilize non-licensed spectrum is provided herein. In particular, when a radio (100) determines a need to transmit within non-licensed spectrum, the radio (100) searches for a beacon being transmitted (303). The beacon identifies a priority of the current user of the non-licensed spectrum (305). If the radio's (100) priority is higher than the current user of the non-licensed spectrum, or if no beacon is heard, the radio (100) may begin transmitting within the non-licensed spectrum (311). As part of the radio's (100) transmission, a beacon will be broadcast by the radio (100) identifying the radio's (100) priority.
