Systems and Methods for Active Detection, Avoidance, and Protection for Wireless Transmissions

A method for prescreening wireless channels for data transportation, the method comprising:

• monitoring, by a monitoring front end, a Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) channel for at least one of radar and energy;
• identifying, by the monitoring front end, the presence of radar or energy over the DFS channel;
• determining, by the monitoring front end, a next DFS channel;
• and
• switching, by the monitoring front end, the monitoring of the DFS channel to the next DFS channel.

A system for data transportation over a wireless network, the system comprising:

• a master device comprising:
• a first front end for transmitting data over at least one wireless working channel;
• a second front end for monitoring at least one wireless prescreened channel;
• a radar and energy detector unit for detecting the presence of radar or energy over the at least one wireless working channel and the at least one wireless prescreened channel;
• and
• a baseband processor for transitioning from the at least one wireless working channel to the at least one wireless prescreened channel when communication over the at least one wireless working channel is no longer acceptable;
• and
• at least one slave device for receiving the data over the at least one wireless working channel.
