Abstract
A wireless transceiver apparatus configured to support wireless communications with transceiver nodes on a wireless local area network (WLAN). The wireless transceiver apparatus includes: transmit and receive path components and an opportunistic link controller. The opportunistic link controller includes: a carrier sensor module, a dominant link identifier module, and a concurrent link selector module. The carrier sensor module senses availability of the selected communication channel. The dominant link identifier module is responsive to a determination of carrier unavailability by the carrier sensor module and configured to identify carrier unavailability arising from a remote link on a neighboring WLAN. The concurrent link selector module is responsive to the identification of carrier unavailability arising from the remote link and configured to transmit a concurrent communication link to a corresponding one of the transceiver nodes on the associated WLAN which avoids interference with the remote link.
