Communication of interference mitigation related information between wireless devices

1. A method for transmitting information, including:

receiving, at a first wireless device, interference mitigation information associated with mitigating interference with a victim wireless device transmitted from a second wireless device;

determining, at the first wireless device, whether to transmit a copy of the interference mitigation information based at least in part whether a count has exceeded a limit; and

in the event it is determined to transmit, transmitting from the first wireless device to a third wireless device the copy of the interference mitigation information.

2. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein an Ultra Wideband (UWB) wireless device performs the method.

3. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the victim wireless device includes a narrowband wireless device.

4. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the interference mitigation information includes at least one of the following: information associated with a detection parameter, information associated with a detection result, or information associated with a modified subcarrier.

5. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein transmitting includes using a distributed protocol.

6. A method as recited in claim 1 further including:

receiving the interference mitigation information at a receiving wireless device; and

storing the interference at the receiving wireless device.

7. A method as recited in claim 1 further including receiving the interference mitigation information at a receiving wireless device, wherein the interference mitigation information is used by the receiving wireless device to coordinate a detection process.

8. A method as recited in claim 1 further including receiving the interference mitigation information at a receiving wireless device, wherein the interference mitigation information is used by the receiving wireless device to determine a notch subcarrier.

9. A method as recited in claim 1 further including determining whether to transmit a piece of interference mitigation information.

10. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the count includes a hop count that increments in the event a copy of the interference mitigation information is transmitted to another wireless device and the limit includes a hop limit.

11. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the count includes a time count and the limit includes a time limit.

12. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein a frame is used in transmitting the interference mitigation information.

13. A method as recited in claim 1 , wherein a frame is used in transmitting the interference mitigation information, including at least one of the following: a header of the frame or a beacon frame.

14. A computer program product for transmitting information, the computer program product being embodied in a computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:

receiving, at a first wireless device, interference mitigation information associated with mitigating interference with a victim wireless device transmitted from a second wireless device;

determining, at the first wireless device, whether to transmit a copy of the interference mitigation information based at least in part whether a count has exceeded a limit; and

in the event it is determined to transmit, transmitting from the first wireless device to a third wireless device the copy of the interference mitigation information.

15. A computer program product as recited in claim 14 , wherein transmitting includes using a distributed protocol.

16. A computer program product as recited in claim 14 , wherein the interference mitigation information includes at least one of the following: information associated with a detection parameter, information associated with a detection result, or information associated with a modified subcarrier.

17. A computer program product as recited in claim 14 , wherein the count includes a hop count that increments in the event a copy of the interference mitigation information is transmitted to another wireless device and the limit includes a hop limit.

18. A computer program product as recited in claim 14 , wherein the count includes a time count and the limit includes a time limit.

19. A system for receiving information, including:

a processor; and

a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions which when executed cause the processor to:

receive, at a first wireless device, interference mitigation information associated with mitigating interference with a victim wireless device from a second wireless device;

determine, at the first wireless device, whether to transmit a copy of the interference mitigation information based at least in part whether a count has exceeded a limit; and

in the event it is determined to transmit, transmit from the first wireless device to a third wireless device the copy of the interference mitigation information.

20. A system as recited in claim 19 , wherein the interference mitigation information includes at least one of the following: information associated with a detection parameter, information associated with a detection result, or information associated with a modified subcarrier.

21. A system as recited in claim 19 , wherein the count includes a hop count that increments in the event a copy of the interference mitigation information is transmitted to another wireless device and the limit includes a hop limit.

22. A system as recited in claim 19 , wherein the count includes a time count and the limit includes a time limit.
