Abstract
The techniques described herein mitigate the effects of electromagnetic interference, caused by the sending or receiving of data, on a proximity sensor of an electronic device. In some instances, capacitance values measured by the proximity sensor may be inaccurate during times at which the electronic device is sending or receiving data. To mitigate this effect, the techniques take into account the recurrent time slot(s) at which the electronic device is scheduled to send or receive data, and then disregards the capacitance values measured by the proximity sensor at these times.
