A method for reducing interference in a mobile network in which a node A proposes
a wireless link with node B. The method includes: (a) determining an angle between
an incoming link from a node C to node B and the proposed node A to node B link,
wherein the incoming link and the proposed link utilize the same frequency; (b)
utilizing a nominal center of a beam of the proposed link, estimate an effective
gain at node B to admit interference from the direction of node A into the incoming
link from node C; (c) estimating a carrier intensity arriving at node B from node
C; (d) determining a ratio of arriving node C to node B carrier to potential interference
from the proposed node A to node B link; and (e) conditioning establishment of
the proposed node A to node B link upon the determined ratio.
