Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for adapting the functioning of a device accessing a medium according to a method of the CSMA type, for example Wi-Fi, when interference caused by a device, for example of the LTE type, is detected on the same communication channel, the adaptation of the functioning of the device being able to comprise the lowering of an energy-detection threshold and/or the modification of the functioning of a contention window.

Claim (Index 9):
A device comprising means for access to a wireless communication medium, the access being of the \u201ccarrier sense multiple access\u201d (CSMA) type, in which a device, referred to as the sending device, wishing to send a message over said medium, checks whether said medium is available before sending said message, the medium being busy when a signal coming from another device and detected by said sending device has a power higher than a predetermined power threshold, wherein the device comprises circuitry configured for:\n determining a proportion of an observation period during which the device detects an interfering signal with a power higher than the power threshold, the interfering signal being sent by another device accessing the medium, \n modifying the value of the power threshold by lowering it if this proportion is higher than a predefined value.
