Abstract
Many environments or operational conditions create repetitive radio frequency (RF) interference conditions resulting from repetitive mechanical or electrical activity. This activity may create oscillations in the RF conditions between an MTC UE and a serving base station. Aspects of the present invention are directed to improving data efficiency and battery life by optimizing communication based on a detected periodicity of repetitive mechanical or electrical activity at the UE by monitoring the oscillations of at least one RF condition between the MTC UE and the base station, and scheduling communication between the UE and the network during periods associated with favorable radio conditions.
