Abstract
A communication system (100) employs a method (400) and apparatus (101, 113) for mitigating interference (119) produced by a communication unit (113) communicating with a serving base site (101) in the communication system (100). While the communication unit (113) is communicating with the serving base site (101), the communication unit (113) monitors (405) a downlink communication signal (118) transmitted by an alternate base site (105). The communication unit (113) then determines (407) an indicia of signal usability for the monitored downlink signal (118) and adjusts (421) a transmit power of the communication unit (113) based on the indicia of signal usability.
