Two separate radio frequency networks may be operated within interference
distance from one another in a way which mitigates the possibility of
interference. Using received signal strength indicator data, the nature
of the interference may be determined without actually demodulating the
interfering signal. The timing of the interfering signal and its
characteristic features may be determined. Using that information,
together with the probability that any given slot will actually be
occupied by an interfering transmission, a statistics package may be
developed which gives an indication of the probability of a transmission
from the interferer at any given time. That package may be transmitted to
other nodes in the same network. When a first node wishes to transmit
information to a second node, the first node may analyze the statistics
package received from the second node. The first node may thereby make a
determination about when to actually initiate the transmission to the
second node.
