Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and systems for identifying and reducing LTE-system coverage holes due to external interference. One embodiment takes the form of a process that includes receiving a signal in a first wireless band. The received signal comprises a signal of interest. The process also includes determining that a received signal quality of the signal of interest is less than a signal-quality threshold. The process also includes determining that the received signal quality of the signal of interest is less than the signal-quality threshold due to interference external to the first wireless band, and responsively attenuating the received signal. The process also includes demodulating the attenuated received signal to obtain the signal of interest.
