Abstract

Interference mitigation or collision avoidance systems and procedures to allow different wireless local area network (WLAN) communication protocols to co-exist in the same frequency band, such as an unlicensed frequency band used for short-range wireless communications. The procedures ensure substantial throughput of information carried by signals of each WLAN protocol while preventing collisions between signals of different protocols.
