20090252096 | Apparatus and Method for Dynamic Frequency Selection in Wireless Networks - A wireless endpoint is a Wireless Regional Area Network (WRAN) endpoint, such as a base station (BS) or customer premise equipment (CPE). The WRAN endpoint can transmit an orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) signal comprising 2048 subcarriers in a channel. The 2048 subcarriers are divided into 16 subcarrier sets, or subchannels, each subcarrier set comprising 128 subcarriers. However, upon detection of an incumbent narrowband signal in the channel, the WRAN endpoint forms a frequency usage map for transmission to another WRAN endpoint, wherein the frequency usage map identifies one, or more, of the subcarrier sets that would interfere with the incumbent narrowband signal. | 10-08-2009 |
