Abstract

Methods and systems for mitigating the effects of an atmospheric-based interference event on the propagation of a radio frequency (RF) signal are provided. A wireless communication network may determine, based on internal or external inputs, that a meteorologic condition is likely to occur and that the condition is likely to affect the propagation of an RF signal. In response to the determination and prior to the condition occurring, the network may proactively modify characteristics of the base station propagating the RF signal in order to prevent or mitigate the impact of the interference event on the RF signal's propagation.
