Abstract:
A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, a device comprising a memory to store instructions and a processor coupled to the memory, wherein responsive to executing the instructions, the processor performs operations. The operations comprise receiving signals over a spectrum of frequencies, providing location data of the device to a base station, receiving a request from a base station to perform a spectral analysis of the signals, detecting an interference among the signals, and providing, in response to the request, data to the base station regarding a source of the interference, wherein the data comprises a location of the source relative to the device, spectral data for identifying the source, and a time a frequency of occurrence of the interference. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method for mitigating interference by filtering or redirection of communications traffic. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
For determining paths in the scope of a multipath search, a device for use in a wireless communications system performs: obtaining a delay profile of a code division multiple access transmission signal, the delay profile being in a form of complex symbols, each complex symbols resulting from a despreading of said received signal after being delayed by a distinct delay; comparing the real part of said complex symbols forming the delay profile with a first threshold, the first threshold being determined on the basis of a noise level determined by the imaginary part of said complex symbols forming the delay profile; and determining said paths on the basis of the comparing.
Abstract:

Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may perform, for example, a method for receiving interference information, identifying a plurality of interferers, approximating a location of the plurality of interferers, and adjusting an antenna pattern of an antenna. The method can include determining traffic loads and adjusting the antenna pattern according to the traffic loads. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
In a receive node of a wireless network, an iterative multi-user multi-stage interference cancellation receiver is used. After each stage of interference cancellation, interference characteristics change. An adaptive finger placement strategy is used in which after each stage of interference cancellation, finger delays and combining weights of the receiver are adapted to reflect the changed interference characteristics.
