Abstract:
1. A method for managing radio resources to be implemented in a radio resource management (RRM) device, the method comprising: the RRM device monitoring performance of a plurality of wireless communication links associated with a plurality of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802 nodes of a first wireless network, wherein the first wireless network is configured in an IEEE 802 mesh topology, each of the plurality of IEEE 802 nodes being wirelessly connected to the RRM device via one of a plurality of backhaul links; the RRM device receiving a broadcast message via one of the plurality of IEEE 802 nodes, wherein the broadcast message includes information regarding resource usage and a frequency hopping pattern of a second wireless network, the RRM device determining based on the information that the second wireless network is interfering with one of the plurality of wireless backhaul links between one of the plurality of nodes and the RRM device; and the RRM device communicating with one of the plurality of IEEE 802 nodes to change an operating frequency on one of the plurality of wireless backhaul links, on a condition that interference is detected.
