A METHOD AND CONTROLLER FOR MINIMIZING EFFECTS OF TRANSMITTER NOISE ON SIGNAL STRENGTH MEASUREMENTS AT A RECIVER IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Abstract A system and method for minimizing effect of both internal and external transmitter noise in order to improve control decisions that are based on signal strength measurements. A wireless network includes an internal transmitter transmitting a first signal at a first frequency and noise at other frequencies in a known pattern. The signal strength of the first signal is measured by the receiver at the first frequency. The noise of the transmitter’s known noise pattern. A determination is then made whether the noise of the first signal is above a threshold on one or more of the other frequencies used by the wireless communication system. If the noise is above the threshold, corrective action is taken. The wireless network further includes one or more receives that measure signal strengths on the range of frequencies used by the system. A correlation is made between the known spectral pattern of transmitters external to the system and the signal strength measurements. If the correlation external to the system and the signal strength measurements. If the correlation is above a threshold, then external noise is present and corrective action is taken.
