Abstract:
Techniques for compensating for self-induced interference in a small cell base station (115) are provided. The techniques include detecting control signals (145) from a neighboring base station (140) associated with a wireless communication network, the control signals (145) being transmitted by the neighboring base station at predetermined intervals, and compensating for self-induced interference caused by a transmitter of the small cell base station (115) transmitting during the predetermined intervals in which control signals are received from the neighboring base station(140), the transmitter of the small cell base station is transmitting data during the predetermined intervals.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure are directed to interference cancellation and wireless communication. A method of performing analog interference cancellation in a wireless communications device having a transmitter and a receiver includes receiving a reference signal representative of an interfering signal transmitted by the transmitter, selecting a first target interference type from one of a plurality of interference types affecting a an RF signal received by the receiver, configuring a first filter of an interference cancellation circuit using a coefficient computed based on the first target interference type, and cancelling interference in the RF signal using an output of the first filter. Coefficient computation may be performed in a switched manner between analog and digital domain, simultaneously in multiple domains, or in a cascaded manner that provides digital interference cancellation.
Abstract:
A method of performing interference cancellation (IC) in a wireless communication device having a receiver comprising at least a primary receiver chain and a diversity receiver chain includes determining an interference level of a transmitted signal on the receiver; determining whether the interference level is within a predetermined range; selecting a first mode of operation if the interference level is within a predetermined range; and selecting a second mode of operation if the interference level is not within the predetermined range. The first mode includes receiving, at the primary receiver chain, a first signal corresponding to the transmitted signal; receiving, at the diversity receiver chain, a second signal corresponding to the transmitted signal for providing to an IC circuit; generating, at the IC circuit, an output signal based on the second signal; and generating a cancellation signal based on the output signal and the first signal.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to apparatuses and methods that can improve Bluetooth (BT) and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) coexistence at a BT/WLAN co-located wireless communication device. Various coexistence schemes are provided such as dynamic WLAN fragmentation based on high priority BT traffic by utilizing various techniques and signaling schemes. In some aspects of the disclosure, narrow-band active interference cancellation may be combined with dynamic WLAN fragmentation to further improve BT/WLAN coexistence performance.
Abstract:
Methods in a multiple-cell cellular network that implements iterative coordinated beamforming (I-CBF) algorithms with limited cooperation from adjacent nodes (base stations and/or mobile stations) may jointly determine transmit beamforming vectors and receive combining vectors to increase sum throughput. The transmit beamforming vectors and receive combining vectors can be determined based on a performance metric, such as by maximizing SINR (signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio) for each mobile station in the network, maximizing SLNR (signal-to-leakage-and-noise ratio) for each base station in the network, or minimizing SMSE (sum mean square error). The algorithms may be performed to update vectors synchronously. In other cases, the algorithms may be performed to update vectors asynchronously.
