    Abstract: A wireless network device in a wide area network is disclosed. A radio of the network device receives a plurality of communication signals. The device detects a signal to noise ratio value and/or a noise floor value and determines, for each frequency channel, when one of the detected signal to noise ratio value is less than a signal to noise ratio threshold value for a period of time and/or the detected noise floor value is greater than a noise floor threshold value for the period of time. The device transmits a jamming warning signal when one of the detected signal to noise ratio value for each of the channels is determined to be greater than the signal to noise ratio threshold value for the period of time and/or the detected noise floor value for each channel is greater than the noise floor threshold value for the period of time.

    Abstract: A wireless communication system having base stations, remotely located terminal units and a base station controller. The base stations and the remotely located terminal units communicate data over operational wireless communication links between them. The base stations include respective in-channel detectors and out-of-channel detectors for detecting radar or other extraneous received signals. The in-channel detectors analyse signals over the operational communication links. The out-of-channel detectors include respective out-of-channel receiver elements that monitor possibly available channels alternative to the respective operational communication link channels. The base station controller registers whether channels are available or not for communication links, and allocates to the base stations respective target channel parameters including frequencies available for operational and alternative communication links. The base stations store the respective target channel parameters for available operational and alternative communication links.

    Abstract: Dynamic frequency selection (DFS) is often a requirement for a wireless local area network (WLAN) apparatus to prevent the apparatus from interfering with other systems that have a priority to a radio frequency (RF) channel. When DFS is executed, the WLAN apparatus ceases WLAN operations on the channel and searches for an open channel to resume WLAN operations. Often a WLAN apparatus misinterprets signals from another system as operating on the channel when actually the received signals are signals leaked into the channel from a system transmitting on a different channel. Presented herein are methods and apparatuses for preventing unnecessary DFS operations resulting from misinterpreted signals through the use of a signal to noise ratio determined from a pulse spectral density of the received signal.
