Channel selection in a shared communication medium
First Claim
1. A communication apparatus, comprising:
- one or more transceivers configured to monitor signaling on a plurality of available channels associated with a communication medium, the plurality of available channels including a first channel;
at least one processor; and
at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor and the at least one memory are configured to;
determine an interference level for each of the plurality of available channels based on the monitored signaling,determine that the interference level for each of the plurality of available channels is greater than a first threshold,determine whether a triggering condition is met, andselect the first channel as an operating channel for a primary radio access technology based on the triggering condition being met, the first channel having an interference level that is greater than a second threshold.

Abstract
Techniques for channel selection in a shared communication medium are disclosed. A communication apparatus may include one or more transceivers, a processor, and memory coupled to the processor and configured to store data and/or instructions. The one or more transceivers may be configured to monitor signaling on a plurality of available channels associated with a communication medium. The processor may be configured to determine an interference level for each of the plurality of available channels based on the monitored signaling, determine that the interference level for each of the plurality of available channels is greater than a first threshold, determine whether a triggering condition is met, and select the first channel of the plurality of channels as an operating channel for a primary radio access technology based on the triggering condition being met, the first channel having an interference level that is greater than a second threshold.
