Final answer:

To reduce co-channel interference, strategies such as increasing the distance between cells, spectrum management, using directional antennas, power control, advanced signal processing, and switching technology standards like LTE, can be utilized.

Step-by-step explanation:

To mitigate co-channel interference, which is the interference by two or more radio frequency signals shared on the same channel, causing slower data rates, several strategies can be employed:

  • Increasing the distance between co-channel cells to reduce interference.
  • Applying frequency planning and implementing a more efficient spectrum management strategy.
  • Using directional antennas to focus signals and minimize the potential for interference.
  • Implementing power control to reduce transmission power and consequently, interference.
  • Employing advanced signal processing techniques such as interference cancellation and MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology
  • Switching to different technology standards that are better at handling interference, like LTE (Long-Term Evolution).

These actions aim to improve the quality of the signal and enhance the overall performance of the wireless network.
