Method and apparatus for reducing self-interference in a mobile network

[0029]The following description of the preferred embodiment(s) is merely exemplary in nature and is in no way intended to limit the invention, its application, or uses.

[0030]As used herein, the designations “node A” and “node B” refer to nodes in the process of establishing a link. (A “link,” as used herein, is a wireless communication path.) The designation “node C” refers to a node other than node A in communication with, or capable of communicating with node B. The designations “node D” and “node E” refer to two nodes other than nodes A and B in communication with each other, or capable of linking with one another, but not necessarily with node A or with node B. From the standpoint of node A and node B in a network, there may be zero, one, or a plurality of nodes C, zero, one or a plurality of nodes D, and zero, one, or a plurality of nodes E. In addition, there may be zero, one, or a plurality of nodes E for any particular node D, as any particular node D may be in communication wi
