The present disclosure includes systems and methods for operating a wireless communication system in multiple modes. The system is configured in a first mode when a transmission interference in a receiver of a wireless device is below a first threshold. The system is configured in one or more intermediate modes when the transmission interference is above the first threshold and below a second threshold. The system is configured in a second mode when the transmission interference is above the second threshold. The one or more intermediate modes activate interference management processes and the wireless device transmits data and receives data simultaneously. In some embodiments, transmission interference may be based on an SINR measurement.
