1. A system for mitigating time of flight interference in a wireless telecommunication environment comprising:
a first base station configured to transmit a first set of downlink signals to a first coverage area using one or more antennas, the first set of downlink signals having a first downlink profile; and
one or more computer processing components configured to perform operations comprising:
determining that the first base station is causing time of flight interference in a second coverage area based on one or more time of flight interference parameters exceeding a predetermined threshold in the second coverage area;
identifying the first base station by detecting the one or more time of flight interference parameters on a first antenna array of a second base station;
identifying a set of potentially offending base stations comprising the first base station based on the set of potentially offending base stations being located within a range of bearings associated with a directional face of the first antenna array; and
communicating an instruction to the first base station to transmit a second set of downlink signals to a third coverage area using the one or more antennas, the second set of downlink signals having a second downlink profile, wherein the first coverage area comprises the third coverage area.
