A receiver in a wireless communication system detects a possibly interfering radar signal, and uses dynamic frequency selection to switch to a non-interfering channel. The power level and the channel of the radar signal may be detected. When a radar signal that exceeds a predetermined power level is detected, the receiver may be tuned until the channel of the radar signal matches the communication receiver channel. The communication receiver may then be tuned to a higher quality channel to mitigate or avoid interference between communication signals and the radar signal.
