1. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
a control plane configured to perform a sensing operation in a control channel that has a first bandwidth and operates in a first frequency band, at least one data channel that has a second bandwidth and operates in a second frequency band different from the first frequency band, or a third frequency band that is adjacent to the second frequency band; and
a data plane configured to perform a data forwarding function, based on a result of the sensing operation, over the at least one data channel,
wherein the at least one data channel and the control channel are configured with communication parameters such that a same level of a channel or jamming impairment degrades a performance of the at least one data channel to a greater extent than a performance of the control channel.
