A method, terminal, and computer program are disclosed to reduce radio interference in a wireless communications device having a combination of a wireless telephone unit, such as a GSM cellular phone, and a short range wireless communications unit, such as a WLAN communications unit or a Bluetooth communications unit. An interference avoidance subsystem in the wireless communications device is connected between the GSM frequency hopping logic and the Bluetooth frequency hopping logic. Bluetooth frequency hopping information and time domain operation information are input from the Bluetooth frequency hopping logic to the interference avoidance subsystem. GSM frequency hopping information and time domain operation information are input from the GSM frequency hopping logic to the interference avoidance subsystem. The interference avoidance subsystem then uses this input data to calculate the interference probability between co-existing Bluetooth received signals and GSM transmitted signals. The interference avoidance subsystem then compares the calculated interference probability with the required Bluetooth packet error rate limit for the current application. If the interference probability exceeds the required Bluetooth packet error rate limit, the interference avoidance subsystem sends a signal to the Bluetooth frequency hopping logic to change the Bluetooth frequencies.

A scheme to reduce the problem of radio interference between wireless devices such as MTC devices in a multi-RAT scenario. Wireless devices are configured (S10) for interference reporting in accordance with their capabilities. Information is collected, not only on interference measurements reported by the wireless devices, but also on device signatures (S12) and transmission patterns (S14) for the purpose of attributing interference, suffered by a reporting device, to one or more offending devices (S16). One or more mitigation techniques is then applied to the offending device and / or the reporting device (S20-S24). The scheme provides an additional stability mechanism for existing interference mitigation and co-existence schemes by using device management and avoiding potential conflicts across diverse systems. Under the assumption that geographically co-located devices are all using a common service platform, the centralised algorithm permits more efficient solutions than existing interference mitigation solutions.

A radar detector is used with a radio link, the radio link characterized by high duty factor operation of a radio transmitter.

A network stack includes a packet loss analyzer that distinguishes between packet losses due to congestion and due to lossyness of network connections. The loss analyzer observes the packet loss patterns for comparison with a packet loss model. The packet loss model may be based on a Forward Error Correction (FEC) system. The loss analyzer determines if lost packets could have been recovered by a receiving network device, if FEC had been used. If the lost packets could have been corrected by FEC, the loss analyzer assumes that no network congestion exists and that the packet loss comes from the lossy aspects of the network, such as radio interference for wireless networks. If the loss analyzer determines that some of the lost packet could not have been recovered by the receiving network device, the loss analyzer assumes that network congestion causes these packet losses and reduces the data rate.
