Reducing interference with a multiple format channel in a communication system
First Claim
1. An apparatus for transmitting a signal including at least one frame, comprising:
- a variable power level transmitter configured to transmit the signal at various power levels; and
a processor for;
increasing by interference power levels each of a plurality of determined minimum power levels for respectively transmitting a plurality of portions of the frame if there will be deterministic interference from the transmitter resulting from the transmission of the respective portion of the frame.

Abstract
Techniques for reducing interference with a multiple format channel in a communication system are disclosed. In one aspect, a minimum power level is determined for each format transmitted during a transmission interval. The minimum power level for formats that will experience the interference are increased to compensate. The power level selected for transmission during the transmission interval is the most stringent of the minimum power levels. Various other aspects are also presented. These aspects have the benefit of mitigating the effects of a known interfering signal, while avoiding unnecessarily increasing transmit power, thus reducing the interference to other users and increasing system capacity.
