Assessing Interference Environment for Wireless Communication Devices
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising;
measuring an ambient signature of a radio frequency environment of the device,measuring a noise signature of a radio frequency band of the radio frequency environment of the device,comparing the ambient signature and the noise signature to determine whether a threshold is exceeded, andin response to determining that the threshold is exceeded, performing a remedial action.

Abstract
Disclosed is a device and method to automate the process of measuring RF noise, correlating measured noise with known sources, and making adjustments to the noise-measuring and reporting process. A wireless communication device is coupled to equipment at a fixed location, and transmits data about the operation of the equipment back to an operator, via a provider'"'"'s network. Examples include fixed wireless terminals. A management entity aboard the wireless communication device performs the measurements via a transceiver and performs remedial actions when required, without requiring an onsite technician or remote assistance. The management entity may include a spectrum analyzer.
