Abstract
A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may perform, for example, a method for detecting signal interference in a first segment of a plurality of segments of a radio frequency spectrum of a wireless communication system, determining according to the signal interference a measure of quality of service of the first segment for transmitting voice traffic, comparing the measure of quality of service to a desired measure of quality of service measure for voice traffic, determining from the comparison that the first segment is not suitable for voice traffic, and notifying a system that the first segment is not suitable for voice traffic. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a system comprising a processor, at least one threshold for detecting signal interference in a plurality of resource blocks occurring in a radio frequency spectrum of a wireless communication system;
- detecting, by the system, signal interference in a first resource block of the plurality of resource blocks according to the at least one threshold;
- detecting, by the system, that the first resource block includes voice traffic;
- performing, by the system, a first quality of service measure of the first resource block responsive to detecting the signal interference;
- comparing, by the system, the first quality of service measure to a desired quality of service measure for voice traffic;
- determining, by the system, from the comparison that the first resource block is not suitable for voice traffic;
- and
- redirecting, by the system, the voice traffic to a second resource block of the plurality of resource blocks responsive to determining that the first resource block is not suitable for voice traffic.
A machine-readable storage medium, comprising instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- detecting signal interference in a first segment of a plurality of segments occurring in a radio frequency spectrum of a wireless communication system;
- determining according to the signal interference a measure of quality of service of the first segment for transmitting voice traffic;
- comparing the measure of quality of service to a desired measure of quality of service measure for voice traffic;
- determining from the comparison that the first segment is not suitable for voice traffic;
- and
- assigning non-voice traffic to the first segment while the first segment is affected by the signal interference.
A communication device, comprising:
- a memory to store instructions;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory, wherein execution of the instructions by the processor causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
- detecting signal interference in a first segment of a plurality of segments of a radio frequency spectrum of a wireless communication system;
- determining according to the signal interference a measure of quality of service of the first segment for transmitting voice traffic;
- comparing the measure of quality of service to a desired measure of quality of service measure for voice traffic;
- determining from the comparison that the first segment is not suitable for voice traffic;
- and
- notifying a system that the first segment is not suitable for voice traffic.
