A system for quiet period determination. An apparatus may listen for potential silent periods to occur in an environment, and if detected, the potential silent periods may be compared to quiet period criteria to determine if they are actual silent periods. If at least two subsequent actual silent periods are determined, the apparatus may adopt quiet period timing and duration based on the actual silent periods. Alternatively, the apparatus may establish new quiet period timing and duration based on the quiet period criteria.

In a non-limiting and exemplary embodiment, a method is provided for radio coexistence, comprising: sending, by a first radio coexistence enabler associated with a first device operating in a network mastered by a second device comprising a second radio coexistence enabler of a master type, a request to a radio coexistence manager, the request indicating that the first radio coexistence enabler is of a client type, receiving information on at least one of locally available radio resources, candidate devices for device-to-device connections, and further one or more nearby access networks from the radio coexistence manager, and causing establishment of a connection by the first device to a third device on the basis of the received information without control of the second device.
摘要:
A system for managing wireless interaction between apparatuses that may be, for example, masters in various coexistent wireless networks. An apparatus may transmit a request to a server via an Internet connection. This request may inquire as to whether other apparatuses are located proximate to the apparatus in an operational environment. The server may return information to the apparatus via the Internet informing the apparatus of other proximately-located apparatuses. The apparatus may utilize this information to communicate with the proximate apparatuses in order to coordinate collaborative operations.

In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus (by example a node with a cognitive control radio CCR) receives first and second messages indicating at least one of a number of nodes per cognitive radio network and amount of traffic per cognitive radio network participating to a respective first and second cognitive control network CCN. The node selects one of the first and second cognitive control network based at least partly on at least one of the number of participating nodes and the amount of traffic per similar cognitive radio network for which the apparatus is capable of accessing. In a specific embodiment, the selection is according to a predefined set of rules, such as select only a channel that appears to be free of primary users; scan a predefmed set of frequency channels in a predefined order; and others. If there are no suitable pre-existing cognitive control networks CCNs available, there are also rules for establishing a new CCN. Described are apparatus, method, and a memory storing a computer program for the various embodiments.
