Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for a WLAN device operating on DFS channels to calibrate the PRI as well as delays between partial pulses of received radar pulses that are impaired due to channel and filtering effects. The calibrated PRI may approximate the PRI of the transmitted pulses. The calibrated delay between the partial pulses estimates the interval between two partial pulses that originally belong to the same transmitted pulse. Using the calibrated PRI and the calibrated delay between partial pulses, the WLAN device may reconstruct the original pulses from received impaired pulses even when the impaired pulses are delayed and partial pulses of the original pulses. The WLAN device may use the calibrated results to correct the shortened PW and varying PRI of the impaired pulses to restore the partial pulses to their full PW with a relatively uniform PRI, increasing the probability of detecting the radar signals.

Abstract: Methods of bandwidth utilization are provided. Within a scheduling bandwidth, which may be an entire carrier bandwidth or a sub-band, scheduling is used to reserve a guard zone at the edge of the scheduled bandwidth. This can be based on the frequency localization capabilities of a transmitter that is to be scheduled. The guard zone may be defined to a resolution that is the same as the scheduling resolution in which case the guard zone is defined entirely through scheduling. Alternatively, the guard zone may be defined to a resolution smaller than the scheduling resolution in which case scheduling and further signaling may be employed to define the guard zone.

The selected fewer than K sub-channels and the number of sub-channels selected from those in the localization area together include K sub-channels to carry the bits that are to be encoded.
