METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MONITORING, DETECTING, TESTING, DIAGNOSING AND/OR MITIGATING INTERFERENCE IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
A system that incorporates aspects of the subject disclosure may perform operations including, for example, receiving, via an antenna, a signal generated by a communication device, detecting passive intermodulation interference in the signal, the interference generated by one or more transmitters unassociated with the communication device, and the interference determined from signal characteristics associated with a signaling protocol used by the one or more transmitters. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Tones processing system in a global navigation satellite system receiver
A tones processing system including an interference tone determination module (ITDM), an interference tone tracker module (ITTM) and an interference tone removal module (ITRM) is provided. The ITDM sequentially searches for one or more continuous wave interference (CWI) tones in N samples of intermediate frequency (IF) data within a programmable signal frequency band. The ITTM tracks the detected CWI tones. The ITRM removes the tracked CWI tones from the N samples of IF data using one or more interference tone removal units (ITRUs). Each of the ITRUs includes a second signal generator, a second mixer, a tone filter for suppressing the tracked CWI tones, and a quantizer for reducing the number of processing bits in a tone suppressed output signal. The ITRM performs frequency shift compensation and phase rotation compensation with reduced logic area and power consumption in the global navigation satellite system receiver.
PEAK-TO-AVERAGE POWER RATIO (PAPR) REDUCTION TECHNIQUES
Techniques for peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction are described. Wireless devices may use one or more PAPR shaping resources, such as expanded bandwidth and/or pulse-shaping filtering, for shaping a signal to reduce PAPR. For example, expanded bandwidth may be utilized for adding a cyclic affix (CA), such as may comprise a cyclic prefix (CP), cyclic suffix (CS), etc., and combinations thereof, to a frequency domain data signal to provide a CP augmented frequency domain data signal used to generate a reduced PAPR time domain data signal. Additionally or alternatively, pulse-shaping filtering may be applied to a frequency domain signal to provide a pulse-shaped frequency domain data signal used to generate a reduced PAPR time domain data signal. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

Systems and methods for broadband signal equalization
An interference canceling subsystem for a bidirectional communications network includes an input interface configured to receive a first data signal from a first transceiver of the network, an output portion configured to receive a second data signal from a second transceiver of the network, a first signal path connecting the input interface to the output portion, a second signal path connecting the output portion to the input interface, and a first interference canceler disposed between the output portion and the input interface along the second signal path. The first signal path is configured to relay the first data signal from the input interface to the output portion. The interference canceler is configured to (i) relay the second data signal from the output portion to the input interface, and (ii) remove portions of the first data signal from the relayed second data signal prior to reaching the input interface.
Spectrum-analysis-isolation-synthesis machine learning-based receiver system and method for spectrum coexistence and sharing applications
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a machine learning-based receiver that operates on the basis of a wide-band RF front-end. The RF front-end outputs clean IQ data to a SPectrum-Analysis-Isolation-Synthesis (SPAIS) system in order to collect analytics of signals present within the monitored band of frequencies, including signal center frequencies, bandwidth and power. The SPAIS system pre-processes the captured wideband IQ data in order to locate frequency bands with signal energy, isolate and synthesize the located frequency bands in corresponding IQ data for individual processing by a neural network with high classification accuracy.

Adaptive narrowband interference rejection for satellite navigation receiver
A controller is configured to control the adaptive notch filter and to execute a search technique (e.g., artificial intelligence (AI) search technique) to converge on filter coefficients and to recursively adjust the filter coefficients of the adaptive notch filter in real time to adaptively adjust one or more filter characteristics (e.g., maximum notch depth or attenuation, bandwidth of notch, or general magnitude versus frequency response of notch).
