Abstract
A device and method of avoiding future self-interference are described. During a current predetermined time period, a priori knowledge of an RF environment is used to determine a change in the environment in a next predetermined time period. Transmission on an interfering channel in response to the change leads to generation of an indication to another device to switch communications in the next predetermined time period to a new channel that is unaffected by transmission on the interfering channel. The new channel is set by the indication or is negotiated by the other device from a list of channels to use in the indication.
