Method and system for power-conserving interference avoidance in communication between a mobile unit and a base unit in a wireless telecommunication system
First Claim
1. A method for avoiding interference in a wireless telecommunication system, comprising:
- providing communication between a first and second component at an initial frequency;
determining a plurality of successive line quality indicators at a line quality monitor of the first component;
summing consecutive line quality indicators over a predetermined time to determine a slow hop count;
determining whether the slow hop count is greater than a slow hop threshold;
determining whether to provide communication with the first component at a second frequency when the slow hop count is greater than the slow hop threshold, the determination based on a power level of the second component and a communication strength received from the second component at the first component; and
communicating a signal from the first component to the second component requesting the second component to provide communication at the second frequency.

Abstract
A method for avoiding interference in a wireless telecommunication system is provided. The method includes providing communication between a first and second component at an initial frequency. A plurality of successive line quality indicators is determined at a line quality monitor of the first component. Consecutive line quality indicators are summed over a predetermined time to determine a slow hop count. A determination is made as to whether the slow hop count is greater than a slow hop threshold. A determination is made as to whether to provide communication with the first component at a second frequency when the slow hop count is greater than the slow hop threshold. This determination is based on a power level of the second component and a communication strength received from the second component at the first component. A signal is communicated from the first component to the second component requesting the second component to provide communication at the second frequency.
