Mitigating interference between wireless systems operating at interference distance apart using timing and features of interference signal to determine slots without interference

摘要

A Bluetoothpiconet (11) may be positioned proximate to a node (10) in a local are network and may operate in the 2.4 Ghz band, while a mitigating module (16) is responsible for mitigating interference and a physical layer (12) passes a receive signal strength indicator signal to the mitigating module and to a media access control (MAC) unit (14), also receiving status data from the mitigating module. This information is then provided wirelessly to other nodes to determine when to operate their own physical layer in order to reduce the likelihood of interfering with proximate piconets. Independent claims are included for a medium carrying processor instructions, for a transceiver and for a mitigating device.
