Abstract
In a radio network having a plurality of first users on channel (FUOCs) and one or more second users on channel (SUOCs), a method and apparatus for a SUOC to select a channel to co-occupy based upon a 'selfish' goal of achieving a desired SUOC rate and an 'altruistic' goal of causing low-impact on the FUOC. A SUOC collects signal parameters for a plurality of FUOCs, orders the FUOCs based upon different criteria, and attempts to co-exist with FUOCs until a suitable FUOC channel is found.
