Claim Text:
1. A computerized method carried out by at least one server having one or more processors for reducing an interference potential between a cell tower and an electromagnetic radiation (EMR) source, the method comprising: at a base station corresponding to the cell tower, determining that a sector of the cell tower has a potential for interference with the EMR source; computing a plurality of time intervals when the EMR source emits EMR in a direction of the sector of the cell tower, wherein each of the plurality of time intervals comprises a first time that is associated with a first physical orientation of the EMR source such that it is not emitting EMR in the direction of the sector, and a second time that is associated with a second physical orientation of the EMR source such that the EMR source is emitting the EMR in the direction of the sector when it moves from the first orientation to the second orientation; and in response to the EMR source emitting the EMR in the direction of the sector at the second time, ceasing uplink and downlink transmissions to and from the sector of the cell tower during the computed plurality of time intervals.
