Abstract:
1. A method for managing signal interference, the method comprising: receiving a reference signal comprising at least an interfering reference signal from an interfering network interface and a serving reference signal from a serving network interface, and the interfering reference signal interferes with the serving reference signal; identifying a power level of the interfering reference signal and a power level of the serving reference signal; and comparing the interfering power level to the serving power level to form a comparison; wherein the identifying comprises: identifying an offset of the interfering reference signal and an offset of the serving reference signal; and wherein the comparing comprises: determining whether the offset of the serving reference signal is more than a threshold number of symbols away from the offset of the interfering reference signal; and responsive to the offset of the serving reference signal not being more than the threshold number of symbols away from the offset of the interfering reference signal, determining a relation of the interfering power level to the serving power level based on the comparison.
