Improving wireless communication in an environment with electromagnetic interference

Abstract:

Methods, apparatuses, and embodiments related to wireless communication in an environment with electromagnetic interference. In some embodiments, during an initial interconnection setup between a transmitting wireless local area network (WLAN) and a receiving WLAN device, and a first frame or packet is wirelessly transmitted or received by the wireless device. An electromagnetic signal from nearby devices that interferes with wireless transmission is detected. Based on the detection of the wireless transmission interference, the wireless communication parameter is changed to increase communication throughput, and a second frame or packet is wirelessly transmitted or received.
