Control of a digital communication system having a plurality of communication lines on which signals are transmitted and received is implemented using a variety of methods and systems. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method is implemented where the signals are affected by interference during transmission and each of the communication lines has at least one transmitter and at least one receiver. A model is created of the interference characteristics due to the signals carried on the communication lines. Interference characteristics for a line are determined based on the model and actual signals carried on other communication lines different from the line for which the characteristics are being determined. Actual interference is compensated for on the communication line using the determined interference characteristics.

Signals are received that include a channel band and an adjacent band. The channel band is demodulated to obtain recovered symbols. Cross-correlation between the recovered symbols and the adjacent band is estimated. Adjacent channel interference is estimated, using the estimated cross-correlation of the recovered symbols and the adjacent band. Upon the estimated adjacent channel interference meeting a condition, a back-off command is sent to a transmitter power amplifier.

A communication gateway for connecting an LPWAN network to a network for access to a cellular or RAN network, the LPWAN network and the RAN network using radio links. Such a gateway typically allows connected objects and servers on the Internet to communicate according to the Internet of Things (IoT) architecture. However, the proximity of the frequency bands used for the two radio links may lead to mutual interference between them, the transmitter of one interfering with the receiver of the other, especially when the gateway is miniature, of the order of magnitude of the connected objects (approximately 10 cm). The disclosed gateway electromagnetically isolates the two RF channels by means of double filtering: by a bandpass filter on the LPWAN RF channel combined with a rejection filter on the cellular RF channel.
