Abstract
A wireless smart utility network (Wi-SUN) device is provided for coexistence with a Wi-Fi HaLow network sharing frequency spectra between the networks. The Wi-SUN device includes a receiver receiving packets of neighbor Wi-SUN devices, a memory storing computer executable programs including a hybrid carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) control program and Wi-SUN backoff control program, a processor to execute steps of estimating a severity of Wi-Fi HaLow interference based on one or combination of the severity metrics, selecting a CSMA/CA mode between predetermined CSMA/CA modes in response to the estimated severity, detecting a channel status based on the hybrid carrier-sense multiple access, wherein if the channel status is not idle, a maximum limited number of times for re-attempting a packet transmission is checked to determine an allowability of re-attempting the packet transmission, and a transmitter to transmit packets according to a determination result of the allowability.
