Communications system having interference mitigation for non-geostationary weather satellite and associated method

A cellular base station controller to cooperate with a cellular transceiver within a communications system comprising associated cellular devices, the cellular base station controller comprising:

• a processor and a memory cooperating therewith and configured to
• store satellite path data for a non-geostationary satellite comprising sensing circuitry operable in a second frequency band susceptible to interference from the first frequency band,
• determine when the satellite path data indicates interference would otherwise be experienced by the non-geostationary satellite, and
• implement an interference mitigation action in cooperation with associated cellular devices based upon the satellite path data indicating interference would otherwise be experienced by the non-geostationary satellite.

A method for operating a cellular base station comprising a cellular base station controller and a transceiver cooperating therewith and within a communications system comprising associated cellular devices, the method comprising:

• operating the cellular base station controller to
• store satellite path data for a non-geostationary satellite comprising sensing circuitry operable in a second frequency band susceptible to interference from the first frequency band,
• determine when the satellite path data indicates interference would otherwise be experienced by the non-geostationary satellite, and
• implement an interference mitigation action in cooperation with associated cellular devices based upon the satellite path data indicating interference would otherwise be experienced by the non-geostationary satellite.
