Abstract

Methods and systems for processing communications based on wireless communications of adjacent base stations are disclosed. According to an aspect, a method includes monitoring, by a separate interference monitoring receiver communicatively coupled to a first base station, wireless communications transmitted by a second base station to communicate with one or more mobile devices. The method also includes determining, based on the monitored wireless communications, a wireless communication scheme for processing communications between the first base station and one or more other mobile devices. Further, the method includes processing communications between the first base station and the one or more other mobile devices based on the wireless communication scheme.
