WIRELESS SIGNAL INTERFERENCE MITIGATION IN A NETWORK

摘要

A transmitter device transmits data over a physical communication link to at least one destination. A monitor resource monitors a frequency band of signals on the physical communication link. At least a portion of the monitored frequency band in the physical communication link used to transmit the data is also allocated for transmissions of wireless communications in a vicinity of the physical communication link. The physical communication link may be damaged for any number of reasons such as a loose connector, rodent chewing on the physical communication link, etc. The damaged locations of the physical communication link are places where the wireless communications are more likely to couple onto the physical communication link and cause interference. In response to detecting presence of an interference signal in the monitored frequency band of the physical communication link, the monitor resource transmits one or more notifications.

1. A method comprising:
controlling a transmitter device to transmit data over a physical communication link to at least one destination; monitoring a frequency band of the physical communication link, at least a portion of the monitored frequency band in the physical communication link also allocated for transmissions of wireless communications in a vicinity of the physical communication link; and in response to sensing presence of an interference signal in the monitored frequency band, transmitting a notification.
