Abstract:
1. A wireless device, comprising: a transceiver that communicates with a network through an access point using a first radio frequency (RF) signal on a channel, the first RF signal propagating through an RF environment shared by a plurality of interference-susceptible wireless devices, the transceiver configured to communicate with a single centralized coexistence interference manager (CIM) that is configured to coordinate interference among the interference-susceptible wireless devices; an interference determination module configured to determine that the first RF signal decreases a signal integrity metric for a second RF signal transmitted from a first to a second interference-susceptible wireless device and determine a channel change over which the transceiver can communicate with the network; and a channel adjuster configured to change the channel according to the determined channel change to increase the signal integrity metric so that an access point signal quality exceeds a minimum access point signal quality.
