Estimating the term…
A method and system for time-sharing radiofrequency spectrum resources between at least two wireless networks where the transmission time duration of a network node configured to control transmissions in a first wireless network is adjusted based on the estimated number of active wireless devices operating in a second wireless network. The shared channel is accessed following a contention based, CSMA/CD, protocol, In one aspect, a method is provided for the network node which includes after a first wireless network transmission in the first wireless network, determining a start time of a contention-based transmission in the second wireless network, estimating a number of active wireless devices operating in the second wireless network based on the start time, and adjusting a transmission time duration for a subsequent first wireless network transmission based on the number of active wireless devices estimated.
A method for a network node configured to control transmissions in a first wireless network, the first wireless network transmissions occurring in a frequency band used for contention-based transmissions in a second wireless network, the method comprising:
A network node configured to control transmissions in a first wireless network, the first wireless network transmissions occurring in a frequency band used for contention-based transmissions in a second wireless network, the network node comprising circuitry containing instructions which, when executed, cause the network node to:
A non-transitory computer readable memory configured to store executable instructions for a network node, the network node configured to control transmissions in a first wireless network, the first wireless network transmissions occurring in a frequency band used for contention-based transmissions in a second wireless network, the executable instructions when executed by a processor cause the network node;
