Method and apparatus for avoiding interference
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- monitoring, by a device comprising a processor and coupled to a wireless communication system, the wireless communication system to detect signal interference in a resource block of a plurality of resource blocks of a radio frequency spectrum;
correlating, by the device, interference data from the monitoring to obtain correlated data;
detecting, by the device, a pattern of recurrence over time of the signal interference in the resource block of the plurality of resource blocks based on the correlated data;
responsive to the detecting of the pattern of recurrence, determining, by the device, whether mitigation of the signal interference is to be performed remotely with respect to the device; and
responsive to determining that the mitigation is to be performed remotely, transmitting, by the device, instructions to a remote wireless communication device experiencing the pattern of recurrence over time of the signal interference, wherein the instructions include one or more first mitigation steps to be performed by the remote wireless communication device.

Abstract
A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may perform, for example, a method that determines at least one threshold for detecting signal interference in a first plurality of segments occurring in a first radio frequency spectrum of a first wireless communication system, detecting a pattern of recurrence over time of signal interference in a segment of the first plurality of resource blocks according to the at least one threshold, and performing one or more mitigation steps to mitigate the signal interference without filtering the signal interference where the one or more mitigation steps include at least one of transmitting signals out of phase from the signal interference, adjusting transmit power, increasing power in a resource block of a long term evolution communication session, performing beam steering, or changing time parameters for the resource block without changing to a new resource block. Other embodiments are disclosed.
