Abstract:
A system described herein may provide a mechanism for identifying unique sources of interference in a wireless telecommunication network. A unique noise signature, associated with a particular source of radio frequency (“RF”) interference, may be identified by detecting physical resource blocks (“PRBs”), in a sector, that exhibit excessive interference, as compared to surrounding PRBs. The unique noise signature may be detected across multiple sectors, and a location of the interference source may be determined. Corrective action may be taken once an interference source is detected, such as by ceasing to utilize, or by reducing the utilization of, affected PRBs.
