With the increase of wireless communication demands, licensed spectrum for long term evolution (LTE) is no longer enough. The research effort has focused on implementing LTE to unlicensed frequency bands in recent years, which unavoidably brings the problem of LTE co-existence with other existing systems on the same band. This paper proposes an adaptive co-existence mechanism for LTE and wireless local area networks (WLAN) to enable a significant system performance of WLAN while LTE does not lose much as well. LTE realizes the co-existence by allocating time resources dynamically according to the traffic load of WLAN system.
