Method and appartus for signal interference processing

A memory device of a base station, comprising instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• measuring a power level in each segment of a plurality of segments occurring in a radio frequency spectrum of a wireless communication system, wherein the plurality of segments are used for uplink or downlink communications, and wherein the measuring occurs for at least a plurality of time cycles to generate a plurality of power level measurements for each segment;
• calculating a normalized power level for each segment of the plurality of segments according to at least one of the plurality power level measurements for each segment to generate a plurality of normalized power levels for the plurality of segments;
• calculating an aggregate normalized power level according to at least a portion of the plurality of normalized power levels;
• determining a threshold from the aggregate normalized power level;
• monitoring the plurality of segments for signal interference according to the threshold;
• and
• detecting signal interference in at least one segment of the plurality of segments according to the threshold;
• and
• determining whether to mitigate the signal interference based on a correlation analysis of the signal interference in the at least one segment of the plurality of segments, wherein the correlation analysis comprises determining a frequency of occurrence of the signal interference.
