Claim Text:
1. A method, comprising: measuring, by a system comprising a processor, a power level in each of a plurality of resource blocks occurring in a radio frequency spectrum of a wireless communication system, wherein the plurality of resource blocks are used for uplink or downlink communications, and wherein the measuring occurs for a plurality of time cycles to generate a plurality of power level measurements for each resource block; calculating, by the system, a baseline power level for each resource block of the plurality of resource blocks according to at least one of the plurality of power level measurements for each resource block to generate a plurality of baseline power levels for the plurality of resource blocks; calculating, by the system, an aggregate baseline power level according to at least a portion of the plurality of baseline power levels; determining, by the system, a threshold from the aggregate baseline power level; monitoring, by the system, the plurality of resource blocks for signal interference according to the threshold; detecting, by the system, the signal interference in at least one resource block of the plurality of resource blocks according to the threshold; and determining, by the system, whether to mitigate the signal interference based on a correlation analysis of the signal interference in the at least one resource block, wherein the correlation analysis comprises determining a frequency of occurrence of the signal interference.
