A wireless communication device includes a MIMO antenna array with dual-polarized antennas to receive RF signals in vertical and horizontal polarizations across a plurality of frequency bands. The received RF signals are filtered to isolate signals-of-interest, down-converted and digitized to obtain digitized down-converted signals. The wireless communication device includes a processor to concurrently process the digitized down-converted signals based on configuration of multi-link operation (MLO) parameters in the wireless communication device. The processor performs cross-band correlation between the processed digitized down-converted signals of the first intermediate frequency band and second intermediate frequency band to identify related signal patterns. The processor classifies detected signals based on the cross-band correlation, null steering, and an angle-of-arrival information and controls the wireless communication device to trigger an operational response based on the classified signals and the cross-band correlation.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network node may identify, based on a schedule of upcoming transmissions in a cell served by the network node, an upcoming intra-cell interference scenario between a first user equipment (UE) and a second UE. The network node may transmit, to the first UE, an interference indication that indicates the first UE is to perform at least one of: null steering, altering a transmission beam of the first UE, or altering a reception beam of the first UE. Numerous other aspects are described.

A system is disclosed. The system may include a receiver or transmitter node. The receiver or transmitter node may include a communications interface with an antenna element. A controller may include one or more processors and have information of own node velocity and own node orientation relative to a common reference frame. The receiver or transmitter node may be time synchronized to apply Doppler corrections to signals, the Doppler corrections associated with the receiver or transmitter node's own motions relative to the common reference frame, the Doppler corrections applied using Doppler null steering along Null directions. The system may be configured to, via the Doppler null steering, flood a communication data packet to a destination node based on a spatial awareness. The system may limit the flooding to only be towards the destination node and / or for a maximum number of hops.

An antenna array feed network includes two or more antenna elements, a 180° hybrid coupler, one or more combiners, two or more transceiver systems including a secondary transceiver system with a transceiver, a diplexer, and amplifier with each remaining transceiver system including a transceiver, a diplexer, a directional coupler, a RF switch, a preamplifier, a network circulator, a programmable attenuator, and an amplifier. The two or more antenna elements form an antenna array. The 180° hybrid coupler provides amplitude controlled null steering and two separate RF signals for an individual port of the antenna array. The programmable attenuator provides automated null steering algorithms for the antenna array feed network. The analog phase shifter equalizes magnitudes of a phase of the two more antenna elements. The one or more combiners feed two or more transceiver systems into the 180° hybrid coupler or the antenna elements into the 180° hybrid coupler.

The application belongs to the technical field of array signal processing, and particularly relates to a towed array target direction estimation method and system based on multi-dimensional null steering. The application can extract cross-aperture phase drift information according to the towed array movement, perform spatial registration and sequential fusion on non-repeated effective aperture data, construct a multi-dimensional null cancellation discriminant based on the phase cancellation relationship between local aperture projection components, extract target pointing parameters, and obtain target direction results, thereby further improving the direction estimation performance. Meanwhile, the de-coherence algorithm is added to more accurately distinguish multiple targets. The application can accurately estimate the directions of coherent multiple targets in a complex engineering environment with limited towed array size.
