    摘要: The present invention is a method and system for managing a transmitter located in close proximity to a sensitive receiver. In an exemplary embodiment, the method may include recognizing incomplete receive operations on frequencies that may be affected by co-site transmit operations. Further, the method may include detecting the beginning of a speech message and delaying the speech message up to a selected maximum amount of time. The speech message may be delayed to correspond to required communications performance, allowing receive and transmit operations to be coordinated and thus, reducing the possibility of the receiver to be interrupted or affected by the transmitter operating on a relatively nearby frequency.

    摘要: A mobile radio has more than one channel, each channel corresponding to a programmable transceiver circuit. The mobile radio also includes at least one high gain antenna coupled to at least one of the programmable transceiver circuits. A location determining circuit is configured to determine the location of the mobile radio. A processor is coupled to the transceivers and to the location determining circuit. The processor runs a program logic that is configured to identify whether the mobile radio is in a location that enables the mobile radio to extend the reach of the network both due to its location and due to the use of the at least one high gain antenna. The processor also runs a program logic to carry out spectrum sensing to identify available spectral resources based on communication traffic on various frequency bands.
