1. A method, comprising:
receiving, at a base station including a processing system having a processor, a plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals from a plurality of mobile communication devices, wherein the plurality of OFDM signals include a plurality of different frequencies of different communication channels;
determining, by the processing system, interference information of an interfering mobile communication device of the plurality of mobile communication devices, wherein the interference information identifies a temporal recurrence pattern of interference by the interfering mobile communication device;
reporting, by the processing system, the interference information to a diagnostic system; and
receiving from the diagnostic system, by the processing system based on reports from a plurality of processing systems, instructions to adjust an antenna pattern of a first antenna of the base station to reduce the temporal recurrence pattern of interference by the interfering mobile communication device.
