Windows Phone 8 Bluetooth interference

[Neil Katz]

I have a Nokia Lumia 521 and Motorola Bluetooth S10-HD headphones. When I am walking in a local park and approach a cell phone tower, the music starts pausing and starting for several minutes, always at the same spots. Is there a known issue of interference caused by a cell phone tower with a Bluetooth signal. Does a signal being broadcast by the tower cause the phone to interpret this as a Bluetooth signal and to act accordingly?

Finally, is there any way to override this behavior?

Perhaps the cell site is using microwave backhaul. Microwave could interfere with Bluetooth.
