Abstract:
1. A method of mitigating an interfering radio signal, that is received at a first mobile device configured to communicate with a first base station within a first frequency band, and which was transmitted by a second mobile device configured to communicate with a second base station within a second frequency band, the method comprising: the second mobile device receiving, from the first mobile device responsive to the first mobile device detecting initiation of a call within the first frequency band, information indicating a threshold value corresponding to a maximum amount of interference the first mobile device can accept from the second mobile device's uplink transmissions without interfering with the call at the first mobile device; the second mobile device, responsive to receiving the threshold value, determining preferred operational parameters associated with its uplink transmissions to the second base station that will satisfy the maximum amount of interference indicated by the threshold value, wherein said operational parameters include at least one of: frequency, bandwidth, and transmission power level; the second mobile device transmitting an interim scheduling request requesting adjustment to at least one current operational parameter associated with its uplink transmissions, as a function of the determined preferred operational parameters, to said second base station; and in response to transmitting the interim scheduling request, the second mobile device receiving an instruction from the second base station instructing the second mobile station to adjust its uplink transmissions to said second base station in accordance with the instruction; and wherein said first mobile device is a public safety land mobile radio (LMR) device and said second mobile device is wireless broadband subscriber modem.
