1. An in-flight entertainment system comprising:

  • a plurality of static transceivers spaced apart within an aircraft cabin and mounted to structures of the aircraft, the static transceivers are configured to transmit and receive radio frequency signals in the ISM band and to measure signals received within the ISM band from mobile transceivers within the aircraft and to measure signals received from proximately located ones of the static transceivers, and to generate measurement reports containing the measurements and containing identifiers of the proximately located ones of the static transceivers and the mobile transceivers; and

    an ISM band communication interference manager communicatively connected to the static transceivers, the ISM band communication interference manager comprising;

    a network interface that communicates with the static transceivers through a network;

    a processor coupled to the network interface; and

    a memory coupled to the processor and storing program code that when executed by the processor causes the processor to perform operations comprising;

    receiving the measurement reports from the static transceivers;

    generating a cabin layout map that identifies the distances and relative directions between the static transceivers;

    controlling transmission power levels used by the static transceivers and the mobile transceivers responsive to the content of the measurement reports and the cabin layout map.
