A method of adjusting a link in a wireless communication system is described. The method includes monitoring a communication channel by a network device in a wireless local area network. The method also includes detecting a signal identified as being transmitted by an unmanned aerial vehicle on the communication channel. The method further includes transmitting a signal with a duty cycle having a predetermined value in the communication channel and monitoring a received signal strength indicator of the signal identified from the unmanned aerial vehicle. In some embodiments, the transmitted signal includes one or more of an interference signal, a de-authentication frame, and a disassociation frame.
