  • Method for operating a plurality of wireless networks
    Patent number: 10638514
    Abstract: A method for operating a plurality of wireless networks includes blocking a channel in a second wireless network (SWN) by a first wireless network station (FWN-S) connected to a first wireless network (FWN) and the SWN within an overlapping frequency band. A time for performing blocking after a busy channel is smaller than a predetermined time period. The method further includes indicating part of a total airtime the channel in the SWN will be occupied by the first FWN-S for transmission. The total airtime is computed as a sum of time slots used for successful transmission, their number being computed such that the transmission performance of the SWN is not degraded more than the level of transmission performance is degraded if the first FWN-S would be operating for transmission within the SWN only.
