Abstract
A cellular base station and/or associated equipment will detect the presence of nearby public safety communication and, in response, will automatically change the base station's antenna beam pattern to be directed to a predefined safe direction, so as to quickly minimize the likelihood of the base station producing harmful interference to the public safety communication. Further, after thus quickly working to minimize the likelihood of such interference, the base station and/or associated equipment could then more specifically determine a direction from which the public safety communication is arriving and could further adjust the base station's antenna beam pattern to be directed away from the determined direction.
