Described is a method and system for connectivity diagnostics in communication systems. The method comprises: querying a first communication device at a first time and a second time to determine whether a second communication device is connected to the first communication device and to determine a value of an operational parameter at the first and second times; and determining the second communication device disconnected from the first communication device based on detecting the second communication device was connected to the first communication device at both the first time and the second time, and detecting the value of the operational parameter at the second time is inside a range of threshold values. In one embodiment, the method comprises determining a link is unstable for connectivity based on connection duration, number and/or pattern of connection and/or disconnection events, and/or traffic activity during connection and/or disconnection events.

An interference variance estimation method includes receiving a composite sample comprising a sample of a first OFDM transmission scheme interfered by out-of-band interference of a second OFDM transmission scheme; determining for each of the resource elements of the first transmission scheme a power estimate of the out-of-band interference; and filtering the power estimates over subcarriers corresponding to a same symbol, wherein weights of the filtering are based on a correlation property of the power estimates with respect to the subcarriers. An interference cancellation method includes: receiving the composite sample; determining a first estimate of the out-of-band interference with respect to non-data bearing subcarriers; determining a second estimate of the out-of-band interference with respect to data bearing subcarriers based on the first estimate; and cancelling the out-of-band interference based on the composite signal and the second estimate.

A range between a first wireless device and a second wireless device is estimated using a first mechanism based on messages transmitted over a first communication channel. The first communication channel is associated with a first radio access technology capability of the wireless devices. One or more metrics indicative of an accuracy of the range estimates provided by the first mechanism are obtained. A second mechanism to estimate a range between the first wireless device and the second wireless device may be implemented in favor of the first mechanism when the metric fails to satisfy a criterion. The second mechanism is based on unicast messages transmitted over a second communication channel. The second communication channel is associated with a second radio access technology capability of the wireless devices and may be the same as, or different from, the first communication channel.
