Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the antenna system into multiple antenna sequence groups, where each group contains antennas operating in specific roles. By dividing the antenna system into manageable sequences and evaluating each sequence's performance independently, the patent can identify and adjust specific antenna combinations that cause interference while maintaining overall system throughput.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent dynamically adjusts antenna operating parameters by detecting performance metrics of different antenna sequence groups and switching between sequences based on detected interference levels and communication quality. This parameter change approach allows the system to adapt to varying interference conditions while maintaining optimal throughput.
