Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: collecting, by an interference controller comprising a processor, an updated indication of receiver performance at a mobile device, wherein the mobile device is operating at a receive frequency; determining, by the interference controller, interference at the mobile device based on the updated indication of receiver performance at the receive frequency; identifying, by the interference controller, a plurality of radio frequency emitters at a plurality of emitter frequencies; determining, by the interference controller, a radio frequency interference pattern based on the plurality of emitter frequencies; determining, by the interference controller, a plurality of separation distances between the mobile device and at least some of the plurality of radio frequency emitters; identifying, by the interference controller, an interference source based on the determining of the radio frequency interference pattern and the determining of the plurality of separation distances; and reassigning, by the interference controller, one of an emitter frequency of the plurality of emitter frequencies, the receive frequency, or a combination thereof, based on the radio frequency interference pattern and a separation distance of the plurality of separation distances, wherein the determining the radio frequency interference pattern comprises: determining, by the interference controller, a plurality of potential interfering frequencies corresponding to non-linear combinations of emitter frequencies of the plurality of emitter frequencies; and disregarding, by the interference controller, potential interfering frequencies of the plurality of potential interfering frequencies occurring outside of a receiver bandwidth of the mobile device comprising the receive frequency.
