Abstract:
1. A method for reducing interference in a mobile network in which a node A is to establish a proposed wireless link with node B, said method comprising: (a) determining a node E that transmits on a frequency equal to a frequency of the proposed link between node A and node B and which can transmit to a node D; (b) determining an effective gain of an antenna on node D with respect to interference from the proposed link between node A and node B, assuming an X-percentile beam criterion selected in accordance with a desired self-interference limit; (c) estimating a carrier intensity arriving at node D from node E; (d) determining a ratio of node E to node D carrier-to-potential-interference from the proposed link between node A and node B; and (e) conditioning establishment of the proposed link between node A and node B upon said determined ratio.
