Abstract

A first device comprising a transceiver module configured to begin transmission of a first signal to a second device. A control module is configured to, in response to the transceiver module receiving a second signal during the transmission of the first signal to the second device, determine whether the second signal corresponds to crosstalk by having the transceiver module suspend the transmission of the first signal. In response to the transceiver module continuing to receive the second signal subsequent to the transceiver module having suspended the transmission of the first signal to the second device, the control module determines that the second signal does not correspond to crosstalk. In response to the transceiver module not continuing to receive the second signal subsequent to the transceiver module having suspended the transmission of the first signal to the second device, the control module determines that the second signal does correspond to crosstalk.
