Abstract
System and method for operating a wireless narrowband receiver. A signal may be received on a channel of the wireless narrowband receiver. At least a portion of the signal may be received from a first wireless narrowband transmitter. The wireless narrowband receiver may implement an adaptive frequency hopping algorithm. It may be determined if interference is present on the channel and one or more errors are detected in receiving the signal. In response to determining that interference is present on the channel and one or more errors are detected in receiving the signal, received signal strength of one or more neighboring frequencies of the channel may be measured, and the resulting measurements may be stored in a memory. The measurements may be used to determine interference sources interference on the channel.
