MITIGATING INTERFERENCE IN WIRELESS SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by at least one hardware processor, causes performance of operations comprising:
- temporarily detecting a non-Wi-Fi signal on a radio frequency channel during a subset of a period of time during which non-Wi-Fi signals are being monitored;
determining a particular noise floor value based at least in part on a signal strength associated with the non-Wi-Fi signal that was detected during the subset of the period of time during which non-Wi-Fi signals were being monitored; and
configuring the particular noise floor for a device, the device being configured to receive signals with a signal strength above the particular noise floor value.

Abstract
According to one embodiment of the invention, a non-transitory computer readable medium for configuring a noise floor of a network device based on the detection of a non-Wi-Fi signal is described. One embodiment of the non-transitory computer readable medium comprises instructions that detect a non-Wi-Fi signal, determine a noise floor based on at least one attribute of the non-Wi-Fi signal and configure the noise floor of the network device such that the network device receives signals with a signal strength above the noise floor value.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by at least one hardware processor, causes performance of operations comprising:
-
configuring a first noise floor for a first device such that the first device decodes wireless signals with a signal strength above the first noise floor value; determining that an error rate exceeds a threshold value, the error rate associated with data received by the first device configured with the first noise floor value; and responsive to the error rate exceeding the threshold value; selecting a second noise floor value, different than the first noise floor value, for reconfiguring the first device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

-
configuring a first noise floor for a first device such that the first device decodes wireless signals with a signal strength above the first noise floor value; determining that actual information received with a radio of the first device does not match expected information; responsive to determining that the actual information does not match the expected information; selecting a second noise floor value, different than the first noise floor value, for reconfiguring the first device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
