Claim Text:
1. A method for locating a source of a communication impairment, the method comprising: detecting, by a processor of an endpoint device, the communication impairment; performing, by the processor, a sweep to locate a direction of the source of the communication impairment, wherein the sweep is performed in response to the detecting the communication impairment at the endpoint device, wherein the direction of the source of the communication impairment is determined based upon a detection of a greatest noise signal in the direction of the source of the communication impairment during the sweep; generating, by the processor, a first null in the direction of the source of the communication impairment for a first gain pattern of a first plurality of antennas of the endpoint device; and generating, by the processor, a second null in the direction of the source of the communication impairment for a second gain pattern of a second plurality of antennas of the endpoint device.
