Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, determining that interference associated with a signal exceeds a threshold, determining at least one operating parameter associated with a user equipment to modify responsive to the determining that the interference exceeds the threshold, wherein the at least one operating parameter includes a frequency band that the user equipment uses to communicate or a clock signal frequency range of a clock of the user equipment, and transmitting a notification to the user equipment, wherein the notification includes an indication of the at least one operating parameter. Other embodiments are disclosed.
