A communications system includes a first wireless communications system configured to provide wireless communications over a first frequency band, and a second wireless communications system configured to provide wireless communications using at least a portion of the first frequency band. The system includes an inter-system communications link between the first wireless communications system and the second wireless communications system. The inters-system communications link is used to coordinate the use of the first frequency band. The system further includes an interference reducer configured to reduce interference between the first wireless communications system and the second wireless communications system. Related methods are also disclosed.

What is claimed is: 1. A communications system, comprising: a first wireless communications system configured to provide wireless communications over short range wireless communications links using a first frequency band; a second wireless communications system configured to provide wireless communications using at least a portion of the first frequency band; an inter-system communications link between the first wireless communications system and the second wireless communications system configured to coordinate the use of the first frequency band; and an interference reducer configured to receive information over the inter-system communications link regarding communications by the first wireless communications system and/or the second wireless communications system and to reduce interference between the first wireless communications system and the second wireless communications system using the received information, wherein the information comprises a communications signal transmitted by the first wireless communications system and/or the second wireless communications system; wherein the first wireless communications system is a Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) system that is configured to provide information to/from transportation vehicles and uses 75 MHz of spectrum that has been authorized for intelligent transportation systems uses in the frequency band from 5.850 to 5.925 GHz; wherein the DSRC system comprises one or more road-side access points configured to exchange information with transceivers that are installed in vehicles such that frequencies used by the DSRC system are used at or near roads/highways by the DSRC system and remain substantially unused by the DSRC system at a distance from the roads/highways; wherein the second wireless communications system comprises at least one base station that is configured to use at least some frequencies that are also used by the DSRC system; wherein the at least one base station is configured to use the at least some frequencies over areas that are overlapping with the roads/highways; and wherein an element of the at least one base station is configured to provide a communications priority to the one or more road-side access points in using at least one DSRC system frequency. 2. The communications system of claim 1, wherein an antenna of the base station is configured to transmit in a direction that does not include transmitters and/or receivers of the first wireless communications system. 3. The communications system of claim 1, wherein the first wireless communications system employs a first air interface protocol and the second wireless communications system employs a second air interface protocol. 4. The communications system of claim 3, wherein the first air interface protocol is different compared to the second air interface protocol. 5. The communications system of claim 3, wherein the first and second air interface protocols are substantially the same. 6. The communications system of claim 3, wherein the interference reducer is configured to reduce interference in the second wireless communications system. 7. The communications system of claim 3, wherein the interference reducer is configured to reduce interference in the first and/or second wireless communications system(s). 8. The communications system of claim 3, wherein the first air interface protocol includes a plurality of resources, and wherein the first wireless communications system and/or the second wireless communications system is/are configured to coordinate the use of the resources. 9. The communications system of claim 8, wherein the resources comprise spreading codes, channels, sub-channels, carriers, sub-carriers, time intervals and/or time slots. 10. The communications system of claim 8, wherein the first wireless communications system and/or the second wireless communications system is/are configured to allocate and/or de-allocate at least one resource of the plurality of resources to the first wireless communications system and/or the second wireless communications system, and wherein the first wireless communications system and/or the second wireless communications system is/are configured to notify the first wireless communications system and/or the second wireless communications system of the allocation and/or de-allocation of the at least one resource. 11. A method of reducing interference between a first wireless communications system and a second wireless communications system, the method comprising: providing wireless communications from the first wireless communications system using a frequency band; providing wireless communications from the second wireless communications system using at least a portion of the frequency band; establishing an inter-system communications link between the first wireless communications system and the second wireless communications system to coordinate the use of the frequency band; transmitting communications of the first wireless communications system and/or the second wireless communications system via the inter-system communications link; and reducing interference between the first wireless communications system and the second wireless communications system using communications of the first wireless communications system and/or the second wireless communications system that are transmitted via the inter-system communications link; wherein the first wireless communications system is a Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) system that is configured to provide information to/from transportation vehicles and uses 75 MHz of spectrum that has been authorized for intelligent transportation systems uses in the frequency band from 5.850 to 5.925 GHz; wherein the DSRC system comprises one or more road-side access points configured to exchange information with transceivers that are installed in vehicles such that frequencies used by the DSRC system are used at or near roads/highways by the DSRC system and remain substantially unused by the DSRC system at a distance from the roads/highways; wherein the second wireless communications system comprises at least one base station that is configured to use at least some frequencies that are also used by the DSRC system; wherein the at least one base station is configured to use the at least some frequencies over areas that are overlapping with the roads/highways; and wherein an element of the at least one base station is configured to provide a communications priority to the one or more road-side access points in using at least one DSRC system frequency. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the first wireless communications system employs a first air interface protocol and the second wireless communications system employs a second air interface protocol. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the first air interface protocol is different compared to the second air interface protocol. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein the first and second air interface protocols are substantially the same. 15. The method of claim 12, wherein the first air interface protocol includes a plurality of resources, and wherein the method further comprises coordinating the use of at least one resource of the plurality of resources. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the plurality of resources comprise spreading codes, channels, sub-channels, carriers, sub-carriers, time intervals and/or time slots. 17. The method of claim 15, further comprising allocating and/or de-allocating at least one resource of the plurality of resources to the first and/or second communications system, and notifying the first and/or second communications system of the allocation and/or de-allocation of the at least one resource.
