Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices are provided for performing an antenna sector level sweep of a radio in a radio frequency system with co-existence of other radios. The method may involve sending a first command to a portion of a plurality of radios to determine a first set of signal quality metrics associated with the portion of the plurality of radios for one or more sectors of an antenna while the first radio is not active. The method may involve determining a second set of signal quality metrics associated with using the portion of the plurality of radios when the first radio is active via one or more sectors of a sector level sweep. The method also include generating a table that includes the second set of signal quality metrics and storing the table that indicates a portion of the sectors to avoid when the first radio performs a subsequent sweep.
