Abstract
Interference information is obtained from one or more interference information sources external to a particular communication system, wherein the interference information is indicative of non-weather related interference that can adversely affect efficacy of the particular communication system. Configurable link parameters of the particular communication system are dynamically adapted and/or resources of the particular communication system are dynamically allocated based on the interference information obtained from the interference information source(s) that is/are external to the particular communication system. Such embodiments can advantageously be performed proactively to prevent or mitigate adverse effects of non-weather related interference on the efficacy of the particular communication system.
