Smart scheduling of TSCH networks to avoid self-interference

A wireless communication system comprising:

• a network manager configured to wirelessly communicate with a plurality of wireless nodes of a wireless network according to a communication schedule, the network manager comprising:
• a first transceiver configured to transmit and receive wireless communication via an antenna;
• and
• a cognitive engine configured to receive information regarding an environment of the wireless network as input and, in response, generate transmission configuration data as output based on an environmental model tracking variances in the environment;
• wherein the network manager is configured to transmit an updated communication schedule to the plurality of wireless nodes that includes the generated transmission configuration data, and
• wherein the generated transmission configuration data includes transmission channel frequency and transmission data rate information.

A method of wireless communication, the method comprising:

• communicating, via a transceiver of a wireless device, wireless data with other devices of a wireless network according to a communication schedule of the wireless network;
• extracting information regarding an environment of the wireless network from communication of the wireless data;
• providing the information to a cognitive engine of the wireless device to generate, by the cognitive engine, configuration data based on an environmental model tracking variances in the environment;
• and
• communicating subsequent wireless data according to an updated communication configuration using the generated configuration data,
• wherein the generated configuration data includes transmission channel frequency and transmission data rate information.
