Mitigating interference between satellite systems and mobile wireless systems

A base station, comprising:

• a network interface;
• an antenna array configured to generate an antenna pattern;
• an antenna controller, coupled to the antenna array, configured to manipulate the antenna pattern;
• a memory configured to store instructions;
• and
• a processor coupled to the network interface, the antenna controller, and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions stored in the memory to:
• receive information associated with a satellite system station via a network,
• determine an interference level generated by the satellite system station,
• determine if the interference level exceeds an interference threshold, and
• send commands to the antenna controller to form nulls in a receive antenna pattern in a direction of at least one side lobe of a transmit pattern of the satellite system station.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• receive information associated with a satellite system station via a network;
• determine an interference level at the base station generated by the satellite system station;
• determine if the interference level exceeds an interference threshold;
• and
• form nulls in a receive antenna pattern of the base station in a direction of at least one side lobe of a transmit pattern of the satellite system station.
