A method and apparatus for sensing channel availability in a wireless network are described including switching to a first candidate channel for operational data transmission and reception sensing a previous operating channel for availability, determining if the previous operating channel is available, switching back to the previous operating channel if the previous operating channel is available and one of continuing to use the candidate channel for operational data transmission and reception and immediately switching to a second candidate channel for operational data transmission and reception and switching to the second candidate channel for operational data transmission and reception after a pre-determined period of time. Also described is a system for sensing channel availability in a cognitive network including an RF unit, for switching channels, a sensing unit for sensing channel availability and a media access control unit for controlling the sensing unit and the RF unit.

A wireless endpoint is a Wireless Regional Area Network (WRAN) endpoint, such as a base station (BS) or customer premise equipment (CPE). The WRAN endpoint performs channel sensing to determine which channels are available for use and begins transmission on an available channel. Upon detection of a TV broadcast on an adjacent channel, the WRAN endpoint adjusts a power level of its transmitted signal.

A method and apparatus is provided for applying an electroding tone to a power conductor located in an undersea optical cable employed in an undersea optical transmission system having at least one repeater. The method begins by applying a DC line current to the power conductor. The DC line current has a value sufficient to power the repeater and less than a value sufficient to power the repeater and to perform electroding. An AC current is impressed on the DC line current at a prescribed frequency and a peak-to-peak amplitude ranging from zero and a prescribed value to generate the tone. The impression or application of the AC current is terminated after a period of time at least sufficient to locate the optical cable or an optical cable fault.

A wireless endpoint is a Wireless Regional Area Network (WRAN) endpoint, such as a base station (BS) or customer premise equipment (CPE). The WRAN endpoint can transmit an orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) signal comprising 2048 subcarriers in a channel. The 2048 subcarriers are divided into 16 subcarrier sets, or subchannels, each subcarrier set comprising 128 subcarriers. However, upon detection of an incumbent narrowband signal in the channel, the WRAN endpoint forms a frequency usage map for transmission to another WRAN endpoint, wherein the frequency usage map identifies one, or more, of the subcarrier sets that would interfere with the incumbent narrowband signal.

A method and apparatus are described including selecting a first route between a source node and a destination node using a bandwidth-aware routing protocol, determining if the selected first route satisfies a bandwidth requirement of an application of the source node, initiating a switch to a new channel selected from a back-up channel list if the bandwidth requirement of the application is not satisfied by the selected route, selecting a second route over the new channel using the bandwidth-aware routing protocol, determining if the selected second route over the new channel satisfies the bandwidth requirement of the application of the source node and streaming data from the source node to the destination node if the selected first route satisfies the bandwidth requirement of the application or if the selected second route over the new channel satisfies the bandwidth requirement of the application.

A method and apparatus are described including receiving channel condition feedback from a device over a wireless channel, determining response to the channel condition feedback if a forward error correction coding rate is sufficient for the device to recover lost data, adjusting the forward error correction coding rate responsive to the second determining act and generating forward error correction packets using the adjusted forward error correction coding rate from source data.
