<p>The present invention relates to mitigating interference in a network that uses frequency hopping. More specifically, an aspect of the invention relates to using antenna nulling for mitigating interference in such a network, and to reducing the effects of antenna nulling on desired communications within the network. A method is described for scheduling communications between a communication device and a plurality of terminals using a frequency hopping sequence, the method comprising: forming an antenna null at an interfered frequency and directing that null towards a source of interference on the interfered frequency; determining that a terminal is located within the antenna null; and scheduling communications with that terminal in accordance with the frequency hopping sequence so as to avoid the interfered frequency.</p> |
