Patent ID: 8560016

Claim:
In a wireless communication device having a processor and at least one physical communication interface for communicatively connecting to a second device, a method comprising: receiving device identifying information about the second device to which the wireless communication device is connected via a first physical communication interface; determining, for each of at least one configurable operating parameter associated with an operation of the connected second device, a set of candidate values that are mapped to a corresponding configurable operating parameter, based on the received device identifying information; in response to determining the set of candidate values, the processor dynamically selecting a candidate value, from among the set of candidate values, for configuring the corresponding configurable operating parameter, based on at least one of (a) a current operating frequency band of the wireless communication device; (b) a current operating channel of the wireless communication device; and (c) a level of harmonic interference expected within the current operating frequency band of the wireless communication device; and automatically configuring each of the at least one configurable operating parameter with a corresponding selected candidate value; wherein said automatically configuring with the corresponding selected candidate value results in a mitigation of at least one of a radiated noise level and a harmonic interference within the current operating frequency band of the wireless communication device.
