1. A method, comprising:
- determining, by a management node, a plurality of rings, wherein the plurality of rings surround a radar, and the plurality of rings encompass a plurality of networks surrounding the radar;
determining transmission powers corresponding to the plurality of rings, wherein each ring is associated with a determined transmission power;
instructing each network of the plurality of networks to perform transmissions in accordance with the determined transmission powers, wherein each network is instructed to use the determined transmission power that corresponds to the ring which encompasses that network; and
assigning a sensing schedule for a requesting network of the plurality of networks, wherein the sensing schedule comprises a sensing duration and a sensing periodicity, and the assigning is at least in part based on a pathloss between the requesting network and the radar and an angular distance of the requesting network to the radar main beam.

Abstract
A method and apparatus may be configured to determine a plurality of rings. The plurality of rings surround a radar, and the plurality of rings encompass a plurality of networks surrounding the radar. The method also includes determining transmission powers corresponding to the plurality of rings. Each ring is associated with a determined transmission power. The method also includes instructing each network of the plurality of networks to perform transmissions in accordance with the determined transmission powers. Each network is instructed to use the determined transmission power that corresponds to the ring which encompasses that network.
