SELF-INTERFERENCE MITIGATION IN IN-BAND FULL-DUPLEX COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
A system and method for mitigating self-interference in mmWave systems. A transceiver can include a mutual precoder controller that controls both an analog/RF beamforming circuit and a digital/BB beamforming circuit to prefer beams directed along paths in the local RF environment that minimize self-interference. In other cases, a transceiver can include one or more self-interference filters to internally mitigate self-interference.
INTERFERENCE MITIGATION FOR PORTABLE COMMUNICATION DEVICE
Methods and systems for mitigating interference between different transceivers in a portable communication device. An electronic control circuit is configured to quantify an electromagnetic isolation between a first transceiver of a portable communication and a second transceiver of the portable communication device based on a detected radio frequency power coupled to the first transceiver from radio frequency signals transmitted by the second transceiver. A mitigation action is selected from a plurality of mitigation actions based on a magnitude of the quantified electromagnetic isolation. The selected mitigation action is then applied to the second transceiver to adjust at least one radio frequency characteristic of the second transceiver.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DUPLEXER CIRCUITS HAVING SIGNAL CANCELLATION PATHS
Systems and methods for duplexer circuits having signal cancellation paths are provided. In one aspect, a duplexer circuit includes a first transmit filter configured to receive a first radio frequency transmit signal from a power amplifier, and a first receive filter configured to receive the first radio frequency transmit signal from the first transmit filter. The circuit also includes a first low-noise amplifier configured to receive the first radio frequency transmit signal from the first receive filter and amplify the first radio frequency transmit signal and a cancellation path configured to receive a second radio frequency transmit signal from the power amplifier. The circuit further includes a phase shifter configured to apply a phase shift to one or both of the first and second radio frequency transmit signals, and a second low-noise amplifier configured to amplify the second radio frequency transmit signal.

Passive intermodulation cancellation
A received signal is enhanced by removing distortion components of a concurrently transmitted signal. A received signal is acquired in a receive frequency band concurrently with transmission of a transmit signal in a transmit frequency band. The received signal includes an intermodulation distortion component of the transmit signal. A representation of the transmit signal is processed using a non-linear predictor to output a distortion signal representing predicted distortion components in the received signal. The received signal is enhanced using the distortion signal by removing the predicted distortion components from the received signal corresponding to the distortion signal.

Precision microwave frequency synthesizer and receiver with delay balanced drift canceling loop
An example frequency converter includes a drift canceling loop with a balanced delay and a linear signal path (e.g., linear with respect to frequency scaling, amplitude modulation, and/or phase modulation). One side of the drift canceling loop includes a fixed delay, and the opposite side includes an adjustable, complementary delay. The adjustable, complementary delay facilitates precision matching of the signal delays on each side of the loop over a range of frequencies, which results in a significant improvement in noise cancelation, particularly at large offsets to the carrier, while permitting the use of a higher noise, but very fast tuning course scale oscillator. The linear signal path from the signal generator to an RF output facilitates modulation of the signal by the signal generator. A modular format is an advantageous embodiment of the invention that includes the removal of the frequency synthesizer's low phase noise reference into a separate module.
Dynamic configuration of user equipment duplexing mode
A method for a user equipment includes determining full duplex capability and metric thresholds during cell search or attachment to a base station and reporting these to the base station; when in an RRC-connected state, dynamically sending reports of the metric conditions to the base station; and receiving instructions, based on the reports of the metric conditions, to communicate with the base station in one of a full duplex mode and a time division duplex mode. A method for a base station includes receiving a full duplex capability and metric thresholds from a user equipment; when in an RRC-connected state, initially scheduling the user equipment for communications in a time division duplex mode; receiving reports of metric conditions dynamically from the user equipment; and sending instructions, based on the reports, to the user equipment to communicate in one of a full duplex mode and a time division duplex mode.
PIM model adaptation
Embodiments herein describe adapting a PIM model to compensate for changing PIM interference. A PIM model can include circuitry that generates a PIM compensation value that compensates for (i.e., mitigates or subtracts) PIM interference caused by transmitting two or more transmitter (TX) carriers in the same path. The disclosed adaptive scheme generates updated coefficients for the PIM model which are calculated after the RX signal has been removed from the RX channel. In this manner, as the PIM interference changes due to environmental conditions (e.g., temperature at the base station), the adaptive scheme can update the PIM model to generate a PIM compensation value that cancels the PIM interference.
