Reduction of interference potential between a cell tower and an electromagnetic radiation source

A system for reducing an interference potential between a cell tower and an electromagnetic radiation (EMR) source, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• one or more computer-readable media storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by the processor, cause the processor to:
• compute an azimuth of a sector of the cell tower,
• based on the azimuth of the sector and a distance between the sector and the EMR source, determine that transmissions to and from the sector have a potential to interfere with radiation emitted from the EMR source,
• determine a plurality of time periods at which the EMR source will be directed toward the sector, each of the plurality of time periods having a first time associated with the EMR source having the potential to interfere with transmissions to and from the sector and a second time associated with the EMR source not having the potential to interfere with transmissions to and from the sector,
• in response EMR source having the potential to interfere with transmissions to and from the sector at each of the first times, cease uplink and downlink transmissions to and from the sector, and
• in response EMR source not having the potential to interfere with transmissions to and from the sector at each of the second times, resume the uplink and the downlink transmissions to and from the sector.

One or more non-transitory computer-storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method for reducing an interference potential between a cell tower and an electromagnetic radiation (EMR) source, the method comprising:

• determining that EMR emitted from the EMR source has a potential to interfere with transmissions to and from a sector of the cell tower, the potential interference determined based on an azimuth of the sector and a distance between the sector and the EMR source;
• computing a first period of time starting at a first time that is associated with a determination that the EMR source is predicted to emit a signal that potentially interferes with transmissions to and from the sector of a cell tower and ending at a second time that is associated with a determination that the EMR source is predicted to not emit the EMR that potentially interferes with transmissions to and from the sector of the cell tower;
• in response to the determination that the EMR source is predicted to emit the signal that potentially interferes with transmission to and from the sector of a cell tower at the first time, ceasing uplink and downlink transmissions to and from the sector of the cell tower;
• and
• in response to the determination that the EMR source is not predicted to emit the signal that potentially interferes with transmission to and from the sector of a cell tower at the second time, resuming the uplink and downlink transmissions to and from the sector of the cell tower.
