A wireless station (STA) is disclosed comprising a receiver configured to receive a measurement or metric from an access point (AP) and a processor configured to determine a correponding measurement or metric of the STA and to determine radio frequency (RF) interference by comparing the measurement or metric for the AP and the corresponding measurement or metric for the STA. The measurement or metric is an average noise power indicator (ANPI) measurement measuring an idle channel power perceived, a channel utilization metric (CHAN_UTIL) indicating a percentage of time the channel is perceived busy, or a medium access delay metric (MAD) indicating an average medium access delay.
