Abstract

A method for coordination of wireless transceivers of a network node, in particular for application in communication nodes of a vehicular network, wherein the network node is equipped with one or more wireless transceivers that are capable of simultaneously generating and/or receiving electromagnetic signals on different electromagnetic channels, the electromagnetic signals being potentially able to interfere with each other, is characterized in the steps of, for each pending packet transmission on a particular of the electromagnetic channels, checking the presence of ongoing and/or scheduled activity on one or more of the other of the electromagnetic channels, and deferring the pending packet transmission in case ongoing and/or scheduled activity is detected on one or more of the other of the electromagnetic channels, at least until the detected ongoing and/or scheduled activity on one or more of the other of the electromagnetic channels is completed. Furthermore, a corresponding network node is disclosed.
