Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: obtaining, by a system comprising a processor, interference information according to at least one adaptive threshold for detecting signal interference in a plurality of resource blocks in a radio frequency spectrum of a wireless communication system providing communication services to a plurality of communication devices and having a plurality of base stations, wherein the interference is caused by a plurality of interferers external to the base stations, and wherein the interference information is provided to the system from the plurality of base stations; correlating, by the system, the interference information to generate correlated information; detecting, by the system, a plurality of interferers according to the correlated information; determining, by the system, interferer locations for each of the plurality of interferers; predicting, by the system and in accordance with the correlated information, recurrent interference caused by a detected interferer of the plurality of interferers; and adjusting, by the system, a first antenna pattern of a first antenna of a first base station based on the interferer locations, wherein the adjusting of the first antenna pattern changes a first coverage area of the first antenna to an adjusted first coverage area, and wherein the adjusting of the first antenna pattern causes at least one interferer of the plurality of interferers to be located outside of the adjusted first coverage area of the first antenna.
