Apparatus and methods that mitigate interferences between two vehicle-to everything (V2X) communications channels to maintain a sufficient communication range for both channels. A method comprises, in a V2X communication unit, detecting energy of an adjacent channel, or current and future scheduled transmission in the adjacent channel, if available, the adjacent channel being adjacent to a main channel, and if adjacent channel transmission is detected, deferring transmission in the main channel to maintain a sufficient communication range for both the main channel and the adjacent channel.
