Method and apparatus for signal interference processing

A non-transitory 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 first plurality of segments occurring in a first radio frequency spectrum of a first wireless communication system, wherein the signal interference is intermixed with signals transmitted by a transmitter, and wherein the signals comprise data traffic;
• responsive to determining that data traffic utilization of the first plurality of segments in the first radio frequency spectrum does not cause an inability to redirect at least a portion of the data traffic within the first plurality of segments to avoid the signal interference, initiating a redirection of at least the portion of the data traffic to a second segment of the first plurality of segments;
• responsive to determining that the data traffic utilization of the first plurality of segments in the first radio frequency spectrum causes an inability to redirect at least the portion of the data traffic within the first plurality of segments to avoid the signal interference,
• determining that a second wireless communication system operating at a second radio frequency spectrum has a second plurality of segments available to transport at least the portion of the data traffic, wherein the first radio frequency spectrum and the second radio frequency spectrum do not overlap;
• determining that the second wireless communication system is in a communication range of the transmitter transmitting the signals in the first plurality of segments;
• and
• initiating a redirection of at least the portion of the data traffic to the second plurality of segments of the second wireless communication system to avoid the signal interference.

A system, comprising:

• a memory that stores instructions;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, wherein execution of the instructions by the processor causes the processor to perform operations comprising:
• determining at least one threshold for detecting signal interference in a first plurality of resource blocks occurring in a first radio frequency spectrum of a first wireless communication system;
• detecting signal interference in a first resource block of the first plurality of resource blocks according to the at least one threshold;
• responsive to determining that traffic utilization of the first plurality of resource blocks in the first radio frequency spectrum does not cause an inability to redirect at least a portion of the traffic within the first plurality of resource blocks to avoid the signal interference, initiating a redirection of at least the portion of the traffic to a second resource block of the first plurality of resource blocks;
• responsive to determining that the traffic utilization of the first plurality of resource blocks in the first radio frequency spectrum causes an inability to redirect at least the portion of the traffic within the first plurality of resource blocks to avoid the signal interference,
• determining that a second wireless communication system has a second plurality of resource blocks available to transport at least the portion of the traffic;
• and
• initiating a redirection of at least the portion of the traffic to the second plurality of resource blocks of the second wireless communication system.
