Systems and methods for mitigating radio frequency interference

摘要

Embodiments of the present disclosure generally pertain to systems and methods for reducing RF interference in communication systems. A communication system in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure comprises an element management system (EMS) communicating through a network with a plurality of network access devices. The EMS is configured to manage at least one network access device such that the device refrains from communicating data or reduces a data rate within a frequency range of a nearby interferer during time periods when interfering activity of the interferer is increased. Accordingly, the effects of RF interference for signals communicated by the device is reduced and degradation of service is prevented to an extent.

主权项

1. A communication system, comprising:
a transceiver coupled to a subscriber line and configured to transmit a discrete multitone (DMT) signal having a plurality of tones across the subscriber line; memory for storing interferer data, the interferer data indicative of a location of a radio frequency (RF) interferer and a frequency of an RF signal transmitted by the RF interferer; and logic configured to adjust a data rate of at least one of the tones based on the interferer data thereby mitigating for an effect of the RF signal on the DMT signal transmitted by the transceiver.
