METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MAINTAINING THE PERFORMANCE QUALITY OF A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM IN THE PRESENCE OF NARROW BAND INTERFERENCE

摘要

A system that incorporates teachings of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a process for detecting power levels of signals of a group of signals that lie within a wideband channel, wherein the detecting of the power levels is according to an analysis order for the group of channels, determining an adaptive threshold based on power levels of at least some of the signals, and detecting interference associated with a channel of the group of channels based on the adaptive threshold. Other embodiments are disclosed.

1. A device comprising:
a memory to store instructions; and a circuit coupled to the memory, wherein execution of the instructions by the circuit causes the circuit to perform operations comprising:
detecting power levels of signals received in a group of channels that are within a wideband channel, to obtain detected power levels, wherein the detecting of the power levels is according to an analysis order for the group of channels, wherein the analysis order is non-sequential;determining an average wideband power level from less than all of the detected power levels; anddetecting interference associated with a channel of the group of channels based on the average wideband power level, to obtain a detected interference.
