Method and apparatus for minimizing a probability of self-interference among neighboring wireless networks

摘要

A first master transceiver (102) of a first wireless network monitors (602) neighboring wireless networks to discover a strongest interfering master transceiver in one of the neighboring wireless networks. The first master transceiver then time-aligns (604) hop intervals of the first master transceiver with the hop intervals of the strongest interfering master transceiver to ensure that a transmission of the strongest interfering master transceiver during each hop interval used by the strongest interfering master transceiver cannot interfere with the transmission of the first master transceiver during more than one hop interval of the first master transceiver, thereby minimizing the probability of self-interference between the first wireless network and the one of the neighboring wireless networks.
