Abstract:
1. A method of detecting and mitigating interference between a first wireless time division duplex (TDD) communications device operational with a first TDD base station and a second TDD device operational with a second TDD base station, the method comprising: processing, using a processor operatively associated with the first TDD base station, quality-indicator reports received from the first TDD device indicating a reception quality of one or more TDD data packets at the first TDD device, wherein the processing indicates whether the reception at the first TDD device has experienced interference from the second TDD device on a frequency in a first portion of a frequency band associated with the first TDD base station; and responsive to a determination that the reception at the first TDD device has experienced interference from the second TDD device, adjusting, using the processor, an uplink configuration of the first TDD base station such that the first TDD base station receives TDD data packets from the first TDD device using a frequency from a second portion of the frequency band different from the first portion to mitigate interference caused by the first TDD device to the second TDD device.
