1. A method comprising:
monitoring wireless power levels at which a first communication device and a second communication device receive wireless reference signals, the first communication device in communication with a first wireless base station through a repeater wireless station, the second communication device directly in communication with the first wireless base station over a wireless communication link between the second communication device and the first wireless base station;
based on the monitoring of the wireless power levels at which the first communication device and the second communication device receive the wireless reference signals, detecting wireless interference associated with operation of the repeater wireless station communicating with the first communication device over a first wireless beam; and
in response to the detected wireless interference, terminating use of the first wireless beam associated with the repeater wireless station.
