A wireless receiver is capable of detecting and avoiding interference from a potentially interfering transmitter. The receiver includes circuitry that determines whether a signal from the potentially interfering transmitter is likely to overlap an expected signal at an assigned carrier frequency or channel. If so, the receiver switches to another carrier frequency or channel to receive the expected signal. In some embodiments, the receiver switches to the other carrier frequency only if the interference is likely to exceed a predetermined threshold.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A method for use in allowing a wireless receiver to avoid interference from a potentially interfering transmitter, the method comprising:(a) determining whether a signal from the potentially interfering transmitter is operating at essentially the same carrier frequency as an expected signal at an assigned carrier frequency;(b) determining whether a predicted carrier to interference noise ratio of the receiver will exceed a predetermined level based on the greater of an instantaneous carrier signal strength and an average carrier signal strength; and(c) if so, causing the receiver to switch to another carrier frequency to receive the expected signal.
