Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: measuring, by a system comprising a processor, a plurality of power levels associated with a first plurality of frequency segments over a first radio frequency spectrum of a first wireless communication system, wherein the plurality of power levels are measured over a plurality of time cycles; calculating, by the system, a first plurality of average power levels for the first plurality of frequency segments; eliminating, by the system, a highest average power level from the first plurality of average power levels to generate a baseline plurality of average power levels; averaging, by the system, the baseline plurality of average power levels to determine a baseline average power level for the first radio frequency spectrum; determining, by the system, a threshold from the baseline average power level for detecting signal interference in the first plurality of frequency segments occurring in the first radio frequency spectrum of the first wireless communication system; determining, by the system, interference within a frequency spectrum of an information bearing signal received at an input terminal according to the threshold for detecting signal interference, wherein the information bearing signal comprises a modulated carrier waveform; determining, by the system, a mitigation state responsive to the determining of the interference; adjusting, by the system, a system parameter, resulting in an pre-adjusted system parameter, according to the mitigation state; receiving, by the system, a first error signal indicative of errors corrected within information obtained by demodulation of the modulated carrier waveform of a signal received according to the pre-adjusted system parameter; determining, by the system, a modified mitigation state in response to the first error signal; and adjusting, by the system, the pre-adjusted system parameter according to the modified mitigation state.
