Wireless Network Performance in Aggressive Interference

摘要

Methods and apparatus are disclosed that provide a network that may determine the presence of it caused by an interfering system transmitting within the same frequency bands, or frequency bands closely adjacent to frequency bands, that the network is using, and initiate action to improve network performance in the presence of the interference. The presence of the interference may be determined by detecting that interference at a threshold level exists in the network, and determining that the detected interference is “aggressive” interference, i.e., caused by intentional transmissions from the interfering system in frequency bands in which the network is operating. Upon determination of the existence of aggressive interference, modifications to network wireless node behavior, for example to the transmission behavior of mobile wireless devices and wireless access points of the network, may be implemented to provide enhanced node operation that improves network performance in the presence of the aggressive interference.
