Title: Method and apparatus for agile wire
Inventor: VENKATESH SWAROOP
IPC: H04W72/02
Filed: 2014-07-03
Abstract: The invention provides a wireless networking scheme that adaptively modifies the transmitted signal bandwidth to avoid interference from or to other devices or systems (e.g., 802.11p) and to meet regulatory requirements. In embodiments, if a transmitter according to the invention is operating in a channel with high bandwidth, and if interference is detected or needs to be avoided on a non-primary portion of the occupied bandwidth 602, the transmitter adaptively reduces the portion of the bandwidth used for transmission to minimize interference while still transmitting in the primary portion of the bandwidth. This allows the transmitter to reduce interference or meet compliance requirements without significantly compromising throughput.
