Long-term evolution interference management for Wi-Fi operation in unlicensed bands

摘要

Systems and methods for improved interference management by Wi-Fi devices are disclosed. The interference management may be achieved by monitoring, by the Wi-Fi device, signaling energy on a communication channel in a frequency band associated with the Wi-Fi device, comparing the monitored signal energy with a known waveform signature corresponding to a periodic signaling energy pattern with a predefined transmission interval that is characteristic of a Long Term Evolution (LTE) synchronization or training signal, and identifying a presence of an LTE interferer on the communication channel in the frequency band associated with the Wi-Fi device based on the comparison.
