Abstract:
Methods, apparatus and systems supporting coexistence of wireless devices and equipment in shared wireless medium environments through the use of multiple PHYs. The techniques provided herein may be applied to various types of wireless devices and equipment. Under one example, a wireless device transmits and/or receives signals using one or more frequencies and/or channels within shared wireless medium environments in which other wireless equipment is operating, such as access points and stations in wireless local area networks (WLANs). The wireless devices are configured to coexist with the operations of the other wireless equipment within the shared wireless medium environment by adapting its transmission operations to utilize frequencies or channels that do not interfere with other equipment and/or implementing co-channel and shared channels operations under which access to channels is implemented using standardized WLAN protocols such as, but not limited to PHY and MAC protocols used for 802.11 (Wi-Fi™) networks.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n identifying a WLAN to share channel access with, the WLAN transmitting over a channel to be shared and implementing an IEEE 802.11 Media Access Channel (MAC) protocol supporting a carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) scheme employing a Request to Send and Clear to Send (RTS/CTS) algorithm to access the shared channel; and utilizing the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol and the first PHY to reserve time slots during which the wireless device at least one of,\n transmits, with the second PHY, wireless signals using at least one frequency or channel that overlaps the shared channel; and \n receives, using the second PHY, wireless signals transmitted from a second wireless device using at least one frequency or channel that overlaps the shared channel.
