Abstract

Methods 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 that tropospheric ducting is occurring, causing radio frequencies to travel much further than anticipated. In response to the determination of tropospheric ducting interference (TDI), a user equipment (UE) connected a victim base station using standalone time domain duplexing (TDD) may be instructed to at least partially shift communications to using frequency domain duplexing (FDD). When TDI is reduced, the UE is notified the victim base station has been enabled to communicate using standalone TDD.
