Abstract:
1. A method for mitigating a temporary interference condition, comprising: predicting the temporary interference condition between a first mobile cellular device and a second mobile cellular device prior to an occurrence of the temporary interference condition, the temporary interference condition caused by movement of the first mobile cellular device and the second mobile cellular device within an interfering proximity; identifying a plurality of potential mitigation actions for mitigating the temporary interference condition; associating each of the plurality of potential mitigation actions with a rating defining a probability of success with each of the plurality of potential mitigation actions; selecting a mitigation action having a highest rating from the plurality of potential mitigation actions; determining an anticipated severity of the temporary interference condition; determining higher levels of the mitigation action at instances where the anticipated severity is greater; determining lower levels of the mitigation action at instances where the anticipated severity is lower; generating a schedule for the mitigation action, the schedule comprising a start time and an end time for implementation of the mitigation action, the schedule further comprising adjustments between the higher levels of the mitigation action and the lower levels of the mitigation action during the implementation of the mitigation action; transmitting the schedule to the first mobile cellular device and the second mobile cellular device; and transmitting an instruction to the first mobile cellular device and the second mobile cellular device instructing the first mobile cellular device and the second mobile cellular device to implement the mitigation action in accordance with the schedule.
