Patent number: 11658700Abstract: A frequency interference prediction system, used to electronically detect signals transmitted from one or more devices at a specified frequency. For each of the detected signals, the frequency interference prediction system detects the packet error rate, signal strength, and frequency channel and records the time the signal was detected. The frequency interference prediction system determines whether there is interference on the frequency channel at the time the signal was detected based on the packet error rate, signal strength, and frequency channel. The frequency interference prediction system then predicts whether there will be interference on the signal at a future time based on the determination that there was interference on the frequency channel and the times the signals were detected.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: DISH NETWORK L.L.C.Inventor: Daniel Dennis
