Abstract
Managing interference in a wireless network is disclosed. A signal quality level may be determined of a downlink signal on a downlink channel associated with an uplink channel of a first network element. Determination of an interference potential between the first network element and the second network element from the signal quality level may be performed. Adapting a network parameter associated with the downlink channel in response to the determined interference potential may be performed.

A method performed by a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the mobile device from a second network element, a downlink signal on a downlink channel associated with an uplink channel of a first network element;
- determining, by the mobile device, a signal quality level of the downlink signal;
- determining, by the mobile device, an interference potential between the first network element and the second network element from the signal quality level;
- and
- adapting, by the mobile device, a network parameter associated with the downlink channel in response to the determining the interference potential.
A mobile device comprising:
- circuitry configured to receive, from a second network element, a downlink signal on a downlink channel associated with an uplink channel of a first network element;
- circuitry configured to determine a signal quality level of the downlink signal;
- the circuitry further configured to determine an interference potential between the first network element and the second network element from the signal quality level;
- and
- circuitry configured to adapt a network parameter associated with the downlink channel in response to the determining the interference potential.
