SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAPPING POTENTIAL INTERNET PROTOCOL TELEVISION INTERFERENCE

摘要

A device is disclosed for determining a first geographical location of a customer premise, a second geographical location of a radio frequency transmitter and a third geographical location of network access equipment proximal to the customer premises, wherein the network access equipment provides access to media signals by way of a broadband communications link. The first, second and third geographical locations are mapped, and a distance between the second geographical location and one of the first geographical location or the third geographical location is determined. The distance is compared to a threshold distance based on a signal transmission power of the radio frequency transmitter, and a mitigation strategy is determined to limit interference of the radio frequency transmitter on the media signals provided to the first geographical location when the distance is less than the threshold distance.

1. A device comprising:
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
determining a first geographical location of a customer premises associated with a new user installation request;determining a second geographical location of a radio frequency transmitter;determining a third geographical location of network access equipment proximal to the customer premises, wherein the network access equipment provides access to media signals by way of a broadband communications link between the network access equipment and customer premises equipment at the first geographical location;mapping the first geographical location, the second geographical location and the third geographical location to obtain a map;determining, from the map, a distance between the second geographical location and one of the first geographical location or the third geographical location;comparing the distance to a threshold distance that is based on a signal transmission power of the radio frequency transmitter; anddetermining a mitigation strategy to limit interference of the radio frequency transmitter on the media signals provided to the first geographical location when the distance is less than the threshold distance.
