Abstract

Spectrum agile devices use non or under utilized portions of the radio spectrum to communicate. However, when a primary user of the channel starts operation, the spectrum agile device must typically vacate the channel. Thus, spectrum agile devices use quiet periods to sense whether a primary device is present. Quiet Periods can be scheduled or on-demand, and quiet periods can be initiated so that the quiet periods of different channels do not overlap.

The term "node" as used herein has broad and non-limiting definitions, and is not limited to devices, computers, objects, and the like that can be coupled to a communication network in any manner, unless expressly or otherwise specified by the context. / Figure 1 illustrates an exemplary communication system 100 in accordance with the present invention. Figure 1 & includes a plurality of nodes, e.g., a primary user 1G6 coupled to a communication antenna (10), and a plurality of secondary users (node i 1〇2 through node N 104). In one embodiment, the primary user is a television station that has been granted a license for the channel on the radio spectrum and broadcasts the content to the TV viewer (not shown) using the licensed channel. Some stations do not broadcast continuously and/or some TV channels are completely empty, so line channels within the radio spectrum are available. Secondary users iQ2, (10) use these vacant channels (also known as spectrum opportunities) to communicate with each other and/or with a communication base station (not shown) when the primary user (10) is not using the channel. Since the user 1〇2,1〇4 usually has to exist in the channel 128265.doc 200843378% of the primary user 1〇6, the secondary user 102, 1〇4 use no communication ^ sensing ^ use 1G6. This is also known as in-band sensing. The following details (in detail) show two T-induction methods, namely scheduling and unscheduled. In Figure!, the primary user's channel is licensed (4), however, in the case of -1, the primary leader may be a higher and priority user within the channel that is not licensed. In the case of a singular yoke, a regulatory agency (such as the United States c) may determine the priority of the channel user. The primary user may be any signal or radiation that the secondary user vacates the channel. The radio spectrum includes a plurality of channels that are granted and unlicensed. The secondary users 1G2, 1G4 may use one or more of the channels for communication. The secondary users 1 〇 2, 1 〇 4 illustrated in Figure i can communicate with different users and/or base stations on the separate channels. Moreover, in the embodiment, even if the secondary users 1G2, m are operating in different channels, the secondary users 102, 104 can communicate with each other, such as channel conditions. Since the secondary users 102, 104 may be forced to enter another channel from the - channel due to the presence of the primary user 1-6. In a specific embodiment, the secondary users 102, 1〇4 can sense the primary user in the channel currently being operated by the secondary users 1() 2, 1〇4, and the channels in their inactive channels. Also known as f external sensing. The channels for the secondary users 1G2, 1()4 are also referred to as the home channel, and all other channels are called foreign channels. In other words, in-band sensing occurs on the home channel of the secondary users 1G2, 1G4, and out-of-band sensing occurs on the foreign channel. In one embodiment, the secondary users 102, 104 can coordinate the use of multiple frequencies 128265.doc • 10 - 200843378. For example, in a specific implementation, A ^ .. m .

A properly designed MC-MAC protocol enables the same adjacent channels, 丨K, to communicate simultaneously in different channels without interfering with each other. However, the methods and systems described in the text are not limited to the MC-MAC protocol, and various protocols can be implemented in different communication layers using other protocols. Eight Figure 2 illustrates the three super-frames (i, (4), of the single-channel ^). The time within the channel can be divided into a number of recurring frames. The hyperframe contains schedules and optional QPs. In a specific embodiment, the QP is scheduled in advance by using _2, 104 schedules. For secondary users on the same home channel, (10) knowing the existence of the scheduled QPs before they occur, and the scheduled Qp has a known start time and duration. During this time, the secondary user Μ], 1 〇 4 suspends its transmission and performs the (4) measurement. The material schedule Q p can be periodic and occurs on multiple hyperframes. In one embodiment, the scheduled QP is communicated within a control packet that is periodically transmitted. For example, in one embodiment, the schedule Qp is communicated within a beacon packet that is supported in many existing wireless networks, such as IEEE 802.1 1, WiMedia UWB MAC, IEEE 8〇215, and other wireless 128265. Doc 11 200843378 Agreement. In these network orders, the beacon packet broadcasts concurrently a good candidate for the information of the periodicity QP. In the case of the QP system, the QP system is selected by the secondary users 1〇2, 104 during the hyperframe. For example, it is sensed on the channel: possibly primary user 106. In an emergency, the user is unable to wait for the scheduled QP and must immediately enter the QP. The QP can be initiated by the single-secondary user and does not have to have the same period as the scheduled QP. In a particular embodiment (not shown), the on-demand QPs may overlap and replace the schedule Qp. m is like scheduling Qp, the secondary users 1G2, 1G4 on the same home channel pause transmission and perform in-band sensing during the on-demand QP. Since the on-demand QP is randomly initiated, is the beacon packet for the initial on-demand? It may not be ideal. Thus, in one embodiment, network 100 may define a dedicated control packet that can be broadcast to a node at multiple hops and that initiates a no communication cycle for one or more channels. In this manner, a no-communication cycle area is formed around the node that initiates the on-demand QP. An exemplary control packet that can initiate an on-demand Qp is a request for no communication (RTQ) control packet. Figure 3 illustrates an rTq 3〇〇 package implemented in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Various embodiments of the present invention may use RTq with more or less information as required by standards and/or specific networks. In one embodiment, the RTQ can be a signal to the trigger device to immediately enter the QP upon receipt of the signal.

In a specific embodiment, the header field of the packet sent by the node includes a dedicated flag, which informs the potential primary user of the festival. In the specific embodiment, the shelf may be referred to as an emergency coexistence situation S. ) Blocking. When a political block is set, the node can perform a faster spread of the pre-RTQ. For example, a node can slow down a transmission that is in progress or send a normal packet for a sense of time (4). Figure 5 illustrates a multi-channel embodiment (CJC2), #中跨 across: no overlap in time. Although _ indicates 2 channels: can be;; Road QP management is scaled to any number of tons, f-mountain will be explained by the evening frequency, 7 channels within c. As shown in Figure 5, by the dotted arrow: - month ^ the schedule material will not be appropriate. Since the material overlaps, the use of Cl as the section of the local channel = heavy QP period to implement 2 negative sensation in channel c, without having to miss the in-band sensing during the QP of its home channel 128265.doc •15- 200843378 C1 The opportunity is the node of its home channel. Therefore, if the ^^ brother is suitable for the like, the nodes in the adjacent channels are connected to the π Qp. ϋ, can significantly improve the function of out-of-band sensing. QP is usually in emergencies. ~ It is urgent for the situation to be avoided. It can overlap with other lang points, such as channel channel and heavy csQP. Therefore, two follow-on QPs. In the case of the two, the two rhymes in the super-frame (4) of the second and the second post, the optional Qp can overlap with the other or the same channel QP. In a single application, the node can delay the on-demand percentage to avoid overlap between the on-demand QP and any scheduled QP. The purpose of the example is not limited to the management system described herein and the IEEE IEEE 〇2·22 'WiMedia UWB> IEEE 802.1 1 > IEEE 802.15 and other wireless systems. 6 illustrates a method 600 for scheduling a QP implemented in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, starting with step 6〇2. In the step, the node listens to and/or requests QP management information. In a particular embodiment, a node desiring to communicate on the channel may broadcast a request for one of the Qp management information. In a specific embodiment, a node desiring to communicate on a channel can listen to QP management information that is periodically broadcast on the channel. In one embodiment, the node may send a request for QP management information if the node does not hear the broadcast information after a predetermined amount of time. If the qp management information is not received in step 606, the method 6 continues to step 608 where the node schedules at least one qP according to a predetermined set of parameters. Returning to step 606, if the Qp management information is received, the method 6 continues to step 128265.doc -16- 200843378 (4) 'where the node schedules at least one Q'QP management information according to the received cooking information, which may be from the use of the home channel Nodes and/or nodes from the use of foreign frequencies. In a particular embodiment, the QP of the scheduling node is such that it does not re-exist the non-communication cycle of the foreign channel. The method then ends at step 612. Figure 7 is a method 700 for initiating an optional QP implemented in accordance with the present invention. The method begins with a step. In step 7〇4, the younger brother feels a tight I + 杳, F, 丨, 冢, U, for example, there is a strong possibility that the main user has entered the channel. Next, in step 7〇6, the first node sends a control packet containing less information to start Qp. In a particular embodiment, the first node transmits the ruler as described with respect to FIG.
