Abstract:
1. A receiver apparatus, comprising: a network interface configured to receive a plurality of signals over channels, wherein the plurality of received signals comprises at least one local network signal and at least one non-local network signal; a power level detector configured to determine attenuation values of the plurality of received signals; and a processor configured to identify the at least one non-local network signal from the plurality of received signals based at least in part on the attenuation value of the at least one non-local network signal and a signal threshold, discard the at least one non-local network signal of the plurality of received signals and subsequently reallocate the channel over which the at least one non-local network signal of the plurality of signals was received, without processing the at least one non-local network signal in a frequency domain, wherein the signal threshold differentiates the at least one local network signal from the at least one non-local network signal based at least in part on the determined attenuation values.
