Mitigate adjacent channel interference and non-Wi-Fi interference
First Claim
1. A method performed by a device of a Wi-Fi network for mitigating interference, comprising:
- detecting adjacent channel interference (ACI) in an operating channel of the device;
determining a location of the detected ACI in an operating band of the device;
determining a first side of the operating channel on the operating band, wherein the detected ACI is located on the first side; and
mitigating the detected ACI by communicating via a different channel located on a second side of the operating channel on the operating band, wherein the second side is opposite the first side, the different channel being determined to be further away from the location of the detected ACI.

Abstract
Devices, systems and methods are described for mitigating interference in a wireless communications network. In particular, the network may be a Wi-Fi network. Multiple approaches may be implemented to mitigate ACI. Further, multiple approaches may be implemented to mitigate non-Wi-Fi interference as well. Each of the approaches may consist of two parts, namely, interference detection and interference mitigation (or reduction). One approach may involve: detecting adjacent channel interference (ACI) in an operating channel of the device; determining a location of the detected ACI in an operating band of the device; and mitigating the detected ACI by communicating via a channel different from the operating channel, the different channel being determined to be further away from the location of the detected ACI.

16. A device of a Wi-Fi network, the device comprising:
-
a processor; memory in electronic communication with the processor; and instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to; detect adjacent channel interference (ACI) in an operating channel of the device; determine a location of the detected ACI in an operating band of the device; determine a first side of the operating channel on the operating band, wherein the detected ACI is located on the first side; and mitigate the detected ACI by communicating via a different channel located on a second side of the operating channel on the operating band, wherein the second side is opposite the first side, the different channel being determined to be further away from the location of the detected ACI.
