According to some embodiments, a method performed by a wireless device comprises receiving a wireless signal R.sub.k over all subcarriers allocated to the wireless device. The signal R.sub.k comprises a phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS) on a subset of subcarriers allocated to the wireless device and the subset comprises at least one non-contiguous subcarrier. The method further comprises computing a de-inter-carrier interference (ICI) filter based on the PT-RS and a channel estimate using a convolutional matrix C.sub.R of the received signal R.sub.k and applying the de-ICI filter to the received signal R.sub.k to generate a de-ICI filtered signal.

Aspects of the present disclosure can be implemented in a method for wireless communication by a first wireless node, such as a user equipment (UE) or network entity. The method generally includes identifying different patterns of phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) tones for receiving a PTRS, determining when to change at least one of the different patterns of the PTRS tones from one symbol to another, and monitoring for one or more symbols of the PTRS, from a second wireless node, according to the determination.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for configurations corresponding to inter-carrier interference. One method includes receiving, at a user equipment (UE), first configuration information for reference signals for performing inter-carrier interference (ICI) estimation including time-frequency resources, a multiplexing pattern, a time-domain behavior, or some combination thereof. The method includes receiving second configuration information for reporting ICI. The second configuration information includes instances of the reference signals for ICI estimation, the time-frequency resources for reporting, the time-domain behavior for reporting, or some combination thereof. The method includes measuring the ICI due to phase noise. The method includes transmitting the ICI report. The method includes receiving third configuration information for performing ICI pre-distortion and phase-tracking reference-signal (PT-RS) adaptation.

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.

Disclosed is a method for suppressing an inter-carrier interference and noise signal, and an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing receiver for performing the same. Here, a method for an orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) receiver to suppress an inter-carrier interference and noise signal by using a symbol interference free interval without inter-symbol interference (ISI) in a guard interval (GI) includes: performing a weighting operation between sample data of the symbol interference free interval and sample data of the effective symbol interval by using a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the symbol interference free interval and an SNR of an effective symbol interval corresponding to the symbol interference free interval; and performing a fast Fourier transform (FFT) on FFT input data configured by including the weighting-operated sample data into the effective symbol interval.

[Problem] To provide a communication terminal, a communication method, and a communication program which enable maintenance of stable communication quality even if radio wave interference occurs between radio communication networks. [Solution] A radio wave environment recognition unit 11 recognizes a radio wave environment. A radio wave interference detection unit 12 detects radio wave interference between an associated radio communication network and another radio communication network. When the radio wave interference detection unit 12 detects the radio wave interference, an interference avoidance unit 13 executes interference avoidance processing for changing a channel to be used or integrating the associated radio communication network and the other radio communication network on the basis of the radio wave environment recognized by the radio wave environment recognition unit 11.

Systems and methods for canceling carrier frequency offset (CFO) and sampling frequency offset (SFO) in a radio receive chain are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, comprising: receiving a sub-frame via a radio receive chain in a time domain; performing per-user filtering on the sub-frame to obtain a signal for a particular user; obtaining a CFO correction signal; adding the CFO correction signal in the time domain to perform a CFO correction step on the signal for the particular user; performing an FFT on the output of the CFO correction step to obtain samples in a frequency domain; adding an SFO correction signal in the frequency domain to perform an SFO correction to the output of FFT step; and demodulating the output of SFO correction step, thereby performing CFO and SFO correction while reducing inter-carrier interference (ICI).

Aspects of the disclosure relate to inter-link interference cancellation for reducing or mitigating interference from signals in different directions (e.g., uplink and downlink directions). A wireless communication device (i.e., a victim device subject to inter-link interference) may determine a time offset or lead time of an interfering signal from an offending device. Based on the determined time offset, the victim device may perform interference cancellation or suppression to reduce or mitigate the interference of the interfering signal. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, receiving, via an antenna, a communication signal generated by a communication device, and detecting interference in the communication signal, wherein the interference is generated by one or more interference sources, wherein the interference is detected by monitoring a near field region of the antenna, an intermediate field region of the antenna, a far field region of the antenna, or any combinations thereof, wherein the monitoring excludes monitoring only the far field region of the antenna. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A method and apparatus include receiving a resource allocation in a control information message. The resource allocation includes one or more resource blocks, wherein each of the one or more resource blocks comprises a plurality of subcarriers. An indication is received in the control information message identifying whether one or more guard subcarriers are present on a respective one or more of the edges of at least one resource block of the resource allocation.
