Abstract

See full text

A method and a system for determining a channel mask in a network device in a microcellar network are provided. An exemplary embodiment uses a weighted average of the background noise on a channel of the network device to determine whether the channel should be masked out. One embodiment provides a method for determining a group of channels from a plurality of frequency hopping channels received by a wireless communications device, the channels in the group being excluded from receipt by the wireless communications device. The method includes the steps of determining an indicator based on a received noise measurement at a first time for a channel, then determining a weighted average at a second time for the channel, the weighted average including the indicator, and then selecting the channel as a member of the group, upon an indication that the weighted average at the second time is above a threshold.
