Method and apparatus for assessing a condition of a wireless channel in view of feedback under strong and sporadic interference received over the wireless channel

摘要

A wireless communication device including an interference module and a feedback generation module. The interference module is configured to detect interference on a communication channel, identify types of the interference detected on the communication channel, and provide information about the types of the interference detected on the communication channel. The feedback generation module is configured to receive a request, from a transmitter, for feedback about a condition of the communication channel, and, based on the request and the information about the types of the interference detected on the communication channel, determine a measurement region of the communication channel, generate the feedback about the condition of the communication channel using measurements taken, by a receiver, in the measurement region as determined by the feedback generation module, and provide the feedback to the transmitter.
