20150181599 | METHODS FOR USING A DETECTOR TO MONITOR AND DETECT CHANNEL OCCUPANCY - Methods for using a detector to monitor and detect channel occupancy are disclosed. The detector resides on a station within a network using a framed format having a periodic time structure. When non-cooperative transmissions are detected by the network, the detector assesses the availability of a backup channel enabling migration of the network. The backup channel serves to allow the network to migrate transparently when the current channel becomes unavailable. The backup channel, however, could be occupied by another network that results in the migrating network interfering with the network already using the backup channel. Thus, the detector detects active transmission sources on the backup channel to determine whether the backup channel is occupied. Methods for using the detector include scheduling detection intervals asynchronously. The asynchronous detection uses offsets from a reference point within a frame. | 2015-06-25 |

The unitary body can also have a lower portion monolithically formed with the upper portion. The lower portion can comprise a pedestal extending downwardly from the upper portion. The pedestal can be laterally inset from lower edges of the first and second opposing lateral sides. The pedestal can include a distal end portion configured to couple to a carrier. | 2015-06-25 |
