First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a first device comprising a first near-field communications hardware component, a first processor, and a first memory, wherein the first memory comprises first computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the first processor, cause the first processor to perform first operations; and
a second device comprising an interference-sensitive component, a second near-field communications hardware component, a second processor, and a second memory, wherein the second memory comprises second computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the second processor, cause the second processor to perform second operations;
wherein the first operations comprisemonitoring a mobility state of the first device,detecting a change in the mobility state of the first device, andin response to detecting the change in the mobility state of the first device, generating, by the first near-field communications hardware component, a radio frequency field;
wherein the second operations comprisein response to the radio frequency field, activating the second near-field communications hardware component, andproviding, to the first device, information about an interference sensitivity of the second device, wherein the information about the interference sensitivity comprises a filter selectivity; and
wherein the first operations further comprisereceiving, from the first device, by the first near-field communications hardware component, the information about the interference sensitivity, andadjusting an operational aspect of the first device to accommodate the interference sensitivity of the second device.

Abstract
Concepts and technologies are described herein for user equipment (“UE”) detection of interference-sensitive devices. According to one aspect disclosed herein, a mobile initiator device can utilize a near-field communications (“NFC”) hardware component to generate a radio frequency (“RF”) field that is used to activate a passive NFC component associated with an interference-sensitive device. The mobile initiator device can utilize the NFC hardware component to receive information about an interference sensitivity of the interference-sensitive device. The mobile initiator device can adjust one or more operational aspects of the mobile initiator device to accommodate the interference sensitivity information of the interference-sensitive device.
