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 method for analyzing a wide frequency band with respect to signal power levels in specified narrow frequency bands, detecting narrow band signal power levels received in the specified narrow frequency bands, determining an average composite wideband power level from the narrow band signal power levels, and determining an adaptive threshold from the narrow band signal power levels for detecting narrow band interferers in the wide frequency band. Other embodiments are disclosed.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device comprising executable instructions which, responsive to being executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
detecting signal power levels for narrow frequency bands; determining an average wideband power level from the signal power levels; selecting a subset of signal power levels of the signal power levels, wherein the selecting of the subset of signal power levels is based on a number of notch modules being utilized by a filter for filtering the narrow band interferers; and determining an adaptive threshold from the signal power levels for detecting narrow band interferers in a wide frequency band, wherein the adaptive threshold is determined without utilizing the subset of signal power levels of the signal power levels.
