Abstract
A wireless device belongs to a wireless communication system and exchanges information within at least one band of frequencies. A method includes detecting a presence of at least one victim device operating within the at least one band of frequencies. The first wireless device is provided with an antenna array, and the detecting step includes analyzing an environment of the wireless device through the antenna array, and if the at least one victim device is detected, reducing interference by controlling the antenna array to steer the antenna beam toward an area located outside a vicinity of the potential victim device to exchanging information within the at least one band of frequencies with at least a second wireless device located in the area.
