FORMATION OF SUBSTANTIALLY CO-LINEAR WIRELESS DEVICE PAIRINGS AND MITIGATION OF INTERFERENCE EFFECTS

摘要

A method and structure that supports the formation of co-linear device pairs and mitigation of undesired interference in a digital multi-media communication environment. Compass orientation information of co-located devices within range of one another in a wireless communication environment is used to determine whether sufficiently co-linear device pairing opportunities exist and may also be used to identify and/or mitigate undesired interference conditions. Various remedial actions may be performed to enhance co-linear device pairing and mitigation action may be taken to mitigation interference between substantially co-linear and co-located devices in the environment.
