Abstract

In one embodiment a method of identifying interference in a wireless network is disclosed. The wireless network comprises a first base station and a second base station. The method comprises detecting an increase in an error rate in a wireless connection between the first base station and a first wireless device; comparing a reference signal power received by the first wireless device from the first base station with a threshold value; and determining that the increase in error rate is due to interference from a wireless connection between the second base station and a second wireless device if the reference signal power is greater than the threshold.
