Abstract
An improved system and method for wireless communications, as well as a method for configuring wireless communication devices for use in such a system, are disclosed. In at least some embodiments, the system for wireless communications includes a first wireless communication device configured for communication within a first frequency range, and a second wireless communication device configured for communication within a second frequency range, where the first and second frequency ranges substantially but not entirely overlap one another. Also, in at least some embodiments, the present invention relates to a method that wireless communicating devices can use in order to co-exist or utilize wireless channels that need not be non-overlapping. By allowing wireless devices to do this, it is possible to achieve greater usage of the wireless spectrum and as a result superior performance of the wireless communication system as a whole.
