Abstract  Abstract

Wireless devices e.g. in a cognitive radio network discover and use locally available usable spectrum for communication. Beacon signaling facilitates available spectrum discovery and spectrum usage coordination. A wireless terminal which may have entered a new area and powered up monitors to detect for the presence of beacon signals in a first communications band. The wireless terminal makes a decision as to whether or not to transmit based on the monitoring result. In addition when beacon signals are detected decoded information recovered by the wireless terminal from the received beacon signals is used in making the transmission decision. The decoded information includes e.g. type information indicating that a second band is allowed to be used for peer-peer communications and/or identification information identifying at least one of a wireless communications device which transmitted the beacon signal and a current user of the wireless communications device which transmitted the beacon signal.
