1. A wireless communication system comprising:
- a first base station using a first frequency resource; and
a second base station using a second frequency resource;
wherein the first base station is configured to;
monitor an interference level in a portion of the first frequency resource adjacent to the second frequency resource;
determine when the interference level indicates a frequency error; and
adjust a reference of the first base station to correct a frequency of the first frequency resource used by the first base station.

Abstract
Systems and methods are described for reducing an interference level associated with frequency drift in a wireless base station. The base station monitors an interference level in a frequency resource caused by a first frequency resource colliding with a second frequency resource. If the interference level is outside of an expected range, the base station adjusts a parameter of the base station such as a reference oscillator frequency to compensate for frequency drift. This method may be used in a femtocell wireless base station.
