Arrangements for acquiring and using data obtained from received interference to facilitate data recovery

A method comprising:

• detecting time based interference, the time based interference having frequency characteristics and timing characteristics;
• detecting at least one of the timing characteristics or at least one of the frequency characteristics;
• querying a library with at least one of the detected frequency or timing characteristics to locate additional characteristics related to the time based interference;
• and
• activating a control signal if the additional characteristics are located, the additional characteristics including a control profile.

A system comprising;

• a timing detector to detect a periodically interfering signal;
• an interference profiler coupled to the periodicity detector to create a profile of the interfering signal;
• and
• an interference mitigation control module to select an interference mitigation module to provide interference mitigation to a data recovery system in response to the detected profile of the interfering signal.
