Abstract: A method includes obtaining data to be transmitted wirelessly and detecting if any transmitting devices having a higher priority are currently using at least one of multiple wireless channels. The method also includes transmitting the data wirelessly over the multiple wireless channels in a first specified manner when no transmitting devices having the higher priority are detected. The method further includes transmitting at least a portion of the data wirelessly over the multiple wireless channels in a second specified manner when at least one transmitting device having the higher priority is detected. The data could normally be transmitted using OFDM. When a higher-priority transmitting device is detected, at least a portion of the data could be transmitted using a reduced transmit power and a reduced constellation size and/or larger error correcting code. One or more wireless channels associated with one of two quadrature components could also be suppressed.

Abstract: A method includes receiving a first wireless signal and demodulating data in the first wireless signal using a first demodulation technique. The method also includes receiving multiple second wireless signals simultaneously (where the second wireless signals interfere to produce an interfered signal) and demodulating data in the interfered signal using a second demodulation technique. The method could also include (i) determining that a single transmitter transmitted the first wireless signal and selecting the first demodulation technique in response and (ii) determining that multiple transmitters transmitted the second wireless signals and selecting the second demodulation technique in response. Determining that the single transmitter transmitted the first wireless signal could include determining that a fundamental frequency of the first wireless signal is below a threshold.
