Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for improving the coexistence between wireless communications via different protocols. Values for parameters associated with communications via a first protocol and/or values for parameters associated with communications via a second protocol may be used to select a coexistence configuration (e.g., pulse-width modulation). The coexistence configuration may be applied to communications via the first protocol.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device and for wireless communications via a first protocol, one or more first values for one or more first parameters;
- determining, for wireless communications via a second protocol, one or more second values for one or more second parameters, wherein the one or more second parameters comprise Media Access Control (MAC) layer traffic parameters;
- determining, based on the one or more first values and the one or more second values, a time duration and a frequency for periodic interruptions of wireless communications via the first protocol;
- and
- causing one or more wireless gateways to add the periodic interruptions to the wireless communications via the first protocol.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device and for wireless communications via a first protocol for local area network wireless communications, one or more first values for one or more first parameters;
- determining, for wireless communications via a second protocol for network wireless communications, one or more second values for one or more second parameters, wherein power associated with the wireless communications via the second protocol is lower than power associated with the wireless communications via the first protocol, and wherein the one or more second parameters comprise Media Access Control (MAC) layer traffic parameters;
- determining, based on the one or more first values and based on the one or more second values, to enable periodic interruptions of wireless communications via the first protocol;
- and
- causing one or more wireless gateways to add the periodic interruptions to the wireless communications via the first protocol.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, a level of interference between wireless communications via a first protocol and wireless communications via a second protocol;
- requesting, based on determining that the level of interference satisfies a threshold, a user input;
- causing, based on received user input, one or more client devices to cease communications via the first protocol;
- determining, after the causing the one or more client devices to cease communications via the first protocol, periodic interruptions of wireless communications via the first protocol;
- and
- causing one or more wireless gateways to add the periodic interruptions to the wireless communications via the first protocol.
