Abstract

The invention relates to a wireless home gateway apparatus and methods of wirelessly delivering audio and/or video programs between a home gateway and a client and mitigating interference thereon. Specifically, the present invention relates to transmitting an audio/video program on two white space channels and alternately stopping transmission on one of said channels to search for external transmissions on the white space channel. The present invention permits the wireless home gateway to continuously transmit an audio/video program to a client while periodically searching for transmitters on each of the white space channels.
