Abstract: The operating configuration at a node in a wireless communication network, at a neighboring node in the network, and/or at one or more wireless devices supported by the network, is updated based on determining timing information for an impending interruption of a radio link in the network to avoid erroneous operation during the impending interruption, which interruption is associated with an external system. The determination of interruption timing, which may be inferred, e.g., from detecting prior interruptions, or which may be known from information about the external system, and the modification of the operating configuration(s) permits the network to operate with greater stability, control, and accuracy during the interruptions than would be possible if the interruptions were simply treated as intermittent radio link failures.
