Abstract
This disclosure relates to communicating on a wireless channel in the presence of an interference source. A receiver accesses the channel to perform a sequence of energy detections. The interference source is modelled as cyclically transitioning into and out of an inactive state and as cyclically transitioning, when out of the inactive state, between a first active state, in which the interference source is active and creating interference on the channel, and a second active state, in which the interference source is active but creating a substantially lower level of interference on the channel. Based on the sequence of energy detections, large and small time scale metrics are determined. Transmission of data by a transmitter is in dependence on the estimated metrics.
