Abstract
A broadband device (105) can detect a proximate narrowband transmission (152) from a narrowband communication device (145). The narrowband transmission (152) can be in close enough proximity (155) to at least one bearer channel of the broadband device (105) to result in interference on the narrowband reception (152) when the broadband device (105) is transmitting and the narrowband communication device (145) is concurrently receiving. Responsive to the detecting, the broadband device (105) can gate a broadband transmission (142) to ensure the broadband transmission (142) does not interfere with the proximate narrowband reception (152). In absence of detecting the narrowband transmission (152), the broadband transmission (142) from the broadband device (105) would not be gated.
