Interference detection, identification, extraction and reporting

An adaptive notch filter (ANF) module selectively filters a received wideband communication signal to eliminate narrowband interference that lies within the frequency spectrum of the wideband communication signal. To determine the presence of narrowband interference, the ANF module scans various known narrowband channels that lie within the frequency spectrum of the wideband communication signal and determines signal strengths for each of the narrowband channels. The signal strengths from the narrowband channels are compared to a threshold that is derived from the narrowband signal strengths. Narrowband channels having signal strengths that are greater than the threshold are determined to have interference.

The packet detector can use signals from one or more antennas. Detection of signals is done using differentially detected correlations. In addition to packet detection, the packet detector can identify signal levels, noise levels and locations of narrowband interference. The process of packet detection and identifying other indicators can be done simultaneously and as the signal is being received.

Eliminating narrowband interference in a receiver

A wireless device receives an input signal representing a signal of interest (e.g., one or more portions of a packet) on a wireless medium. The input signal may, in addition, contain narrowband interference signals. The wireless device removes the signal of interest from the input signal to produce a residue signal, and analyzes the residue signal to determine the presence of any interference bands in which narrowband interference signals may be present. The wireless device then removes the detected interference bands from the input signal. The residue signal may reveal the presence of interference signals, which might otherwise be hard to distinguish in the input signal. Thus, interference signals with power levels much lower than the power of the signal of interest may be detected and removed.

Narrowband interference rejection for ultra-wideband systems

A technique for reducing interference between a direct-sequence ultra-wideband communications system and a narrowband communications system uses interference-rejecting spreading codes to reduce signal power in a frequency band associated with the narrowband communications system. A method of operating an ultra-wideband communications system includes applying an interference-rejecting spreading code to a signal for transmission. The interference-rejecting spreading code is configured to reduce power in a particular frequency band of a transmit or receive power spectral density associated with the ultra-wideband signal without substantially reducing power outside that particular frequency band of the transmit or receive power spectral density associated with the ultra-wideband signal.

Receiving spread spectrum signals with narrowband interference

A receiver receives spread spectrum signals which include unwanted narrowband signals, for example, radio signals which comprise a mixture of signals from signal sources using the Group Special Mobile (GSM) ETSI standard coding and from signal sources using Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) coding. Both despreading of the spread spectrum signal and attenuating of predetermined frequencies (corresponding to the narrowband signal) of the spread spectrum signal are performed prior to downconverting. In another approach to decoding a spread spectrum signal in which an unwanted narrowband signal has been coded using a coding scheme with error correction capabilities, the narrowband signal is decoded, regenerated and subtracted prior to despreading of the spread spectrum signal.

Cancellation of interference in a communication system with application to S-CDMA

InactiveUS20050141460A9Reduce system capacityInterfere with functionalityRadio transmissionMultiplex code allocationCommunications systemInterference elimination
Cancellation of interference in a communication system with application to S-CDMA. A relatively straight-forward implemented, and computationally efficient approach of selecting a predetermined number of unused codes is used to perform weighted linear combination selectively with each of the input spread signals in a multiple access communication system. If desired, the predetermined number of unused codes is always the same in each implementation. Alternatively, the predetermined number of unused codes are selected from within a reordered code matrix using knowledge that is shared between the two ends of a communication system, such as between the CMs and a CMTS. While the context of an S-CDMA communication system having CMs and a CMTS is used, the solution is generally applicable to any communication system that seeks to cancel narrowband interference. Several embodiments are also described that show the generic applicability of the solution across a wide variety of systems.

Method and Apparatus for Characterizing Modulation Schemes in an HFC Network

The available modulation schemes of a network are analyzed to determine which ones contain excessive phase noise or narrowband interference. A network element is selected and assigned to a test channel at a first modulation scheme at a predetermined power level to achieve a predetermined PER. The network element transmits a test signal and the network controller measures the signal to noise ratio (SNR) in the received test signal. If the SNR is not within a predetermined tolerance range of an estimated SNR for the modulation scheme at the predetermined PER, the modulation scheme is determined to have excessive phase noise or narrowband interference. Each available modulation scheme is tested by instructing the network element to transmit the test signal using each modulation scheme and assigning the power level of each modulation scheme. The suitable modulation schemes may be determined.
