Abstract
Communication management hardware controls operation of multiple wireless stations in a network environment. For example, the communication management hardware initially assigns wireless bandwidth for use by multiple wireless stations in a wireless network environment to communicate amongst each other. The communication management hardware monitors use of the wireless bandwidth. In response to detecting use of the wireless bandwidth by an incumbent entity having higher priority rights than the multiple wireless stations, the communication management hardware operates in a shared time-division mode in which both the multiple wireless stations and the incumbent entity share use of the wireless bandwidth in a control period according to a duty cycle in which the wireless stations are provided full use of the wireless bandwidth during a first portion of the control period and the wireless stations are provided reduced use of the wireless channels for a second portion of the control period.
