Assignee: ISCO INTERNATIONAL, LLC
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. A non-transitory, machine-readable storage device comprising instructions, which when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
receiving signals associated with a plurality of communication devices communicating via a plurality of wireless uplink channels with a base station associated with the processing system;
detecting a first interfering signal based on a correlation analysis of the first interfering signal and at least one adaptive threshold, wherein the first interfering signal causes a recurring interference with at least one of the signals, wherein the at least one adaptive threshold is calculated from a baseline average signal strength across the plurality of wireless uplink channels without a predetermined number of wireless uplink channels having a highest average signal strength of the plurality of wireless uplink channels, wherein the at least one adaptive threshold is calculated by adding an offset to the baseline average signal strength, wherein the offset is determined based on measurements collected from multiple base stations, and wherein the predetermined number of wireless uplink channels is determined based on the measurements collected from the multiple base stations; and
identifying a source interferer for the first interfering signal based on information obtained from the correlation analysis of the first interfering signal, wherein the first interfering signal comprises intermodulation interference generated by one or more other transmitters, intermodulation interference generated by one or more faulty components, or both.
