ADAPTION FUNCTION IN A RESOURCE-IRRESPONSIBLE COMMUNICATION UNIT FOR REDUCING A LEVEL OF INTERFERENCE OR MAKING A PORTION OF A SHARED RESOURCE AVAILABLE FOR USE

摘要

A wireless communication system (200) comprises one or more communication networks supporting communications for a plurality of communications units on a shared communication resource. An identification function (144) identifies interference within, or non-availability of, a portion of the shared resource; and a communication adaptation function (142), responsive to a resource-responsible agent (140) that is triggered when interference is identified, reduces a level of interference or makes a portion of the shared resource available for use. A communication unit and a method of sharing a communication resource are also provided. In this manner, a mechanism identifies and targets those resource irresponsible users for automatic adjustment of their performance attributes to minimise interference in one or more communication networks.
