Abstract
A wireless communication device and method for operating the same for mitigating interference in a wireless communication network are provided. Generally, the method includes sensing with the wireless communication device pulses of electromagnetic radiation recurring within a band of frequencies used by the device for communication of signals, identifying the pulses as interference, and determining a number of frequencies of the interference within the band of frequencies used by the wireless communication device. Next, a sensitivity of the wireless communication device is reduced upon sensing one of the pulses and repeated at a frequency corresponding to the frequency of the interference. Thus, a spectrum of electromagnetic radiation around the wireless communication device is perceived by the device as free of interference, enabling it to transmit and/or receive more often. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
