Patent ID: 8000376

Claim:
A method of adjusting a transmit time of a transmitter of a signal of interest (SOI), comprising: determining, by a receiver, a frequency hopping sequence of an interfering signal; measuring, by a the receiver, a received signal power of a receive signal through a select band of the frequency hopping sequence over time, wherein the receive signal includes the signal of interest and the interfering signal, wherein the signal of interest comprises multi-carrier symbols and the interfering signal comprises interfering multi-carrier symbols; identifying, by the receiver, a pattern of the interfering multi-carrier symbols of the interfering signal from the received signal power; based on the transmit time of the multi-carrier symbols and the pattern of the interfering multi-carrier symbols, selecting a desired transmit time delay to reduce at least one of time and frequency overlap between the multi-carrier symbols and the interfering multi-carrier symbols; and adjusting, by the transmitter, the transmit time of the signal of interest based on the desired transmit time delay.
