System and method for discriminating radar transmissions from wireless network transmissions and wireless network having radar-avoidance capability

An apparatus identifying radar signals in a wireless network, comprising:

• a report receiver configured to collect data of suspected radar pulses from wireless devices of said wireless network, said data pertaining to pulses determined by said wireless devices to be radar pulses;
• and
• a report analyzer, associated with said report receiver, configured to discard duplicate portions of said data for a pulse determined by multiple of said wireless devices to be a suspected radar pulse and determine, based on remaining data after said discard, if a radar sequence exists by identifying X successive repetitions of a given time interval between ones of said pulses in said remaining data subject to a maximum of Y missing pulses and within a tolerance of Z microseconds, wherein said report analyzer is further configured to determine if an additional time interval exists in said data when determining a radar sequence does not exist based on said given time interval and if an additional time interval does not exist, increment said given time interval and determine if a radar sequence exists based on said incremented time interval.
