Claim:
1. A device comprising: an environmental sensing module to detect spectrum availability on a first channel; a module to coordinate dynamic spectrum access by the device and at least one other cooperative device based on the spectrum availability detected by said environmental sensing module; and a transceiver to communicate, during a first time period, with the at least one other cooperative device on a second channel identified as available for use by the device based on the spectrum availability detected by said environmental sensing module, the second channel being different from the first channel; said environmental sensing module configured to detect spectrum availability on the first channel concurrently with said transceiver communicating with the at least one other cooperative device on the second channel; and further comprising a scheduler configured to schedule a time period during which each of the device and the cooperative device refrain from transmitting.
