Method and system for inter-system interference based radio control
First Claim
1. A method of controlling access to a network, the method comprising:
- initiating connection of a user-network to the network, the user-network comprising more than one access system;
determining access systems available to the user-network for accessing the network;
determining a priority value of each of the available access systems;
determining a priority access system from the available access systems for accessing the network and enabling the priority access system;
determining an amount of interference between further of the available access systems and the priority access system using the results of a matrix comprising;

Abstract
User-networks having more than one type of access system are connected to networks having multi-access technology. Interference is measured between the connected, active access systems and the active systems are prioritized. A priority value is assigned to each of the active access systems based on the interference between systems. According to the assigned priority value, the access system with the highest value is enabled. Remaining systems are then compared with the enabled access system and an interference threshold. If the level of interference exceeds the threshold, the offending access system is disabled. If the threshold is not exceeded, the number of simultaneously operating access systems is compared to a predetermined number and the access systems below that number are then disabled.
