摘要:
A method for adjusting an antenna configuration of the terminal device (30) in a cellular communication system (10). The system (10) includes a base station (20) and a terminal device (30) having a plurality of antenna elements (40-43). In the terminal device (30) a plurality of preset antenna configurations is provided. Each antenna configuration defines at least one reception parameter for the plurality of antenna elements (40-43). For each antenna configuration of the plurality of preset antenna configurations the antenna configuration is applied to the plurality of antenna elements (40-43) and a reception characteristic of a signal transmission from the base station (20) is determined. Based on the plurality of reception characteristics one antenna configuration is selected and applied to the plurality of antenna elements (40-43) for further signal transmissions.

摘要:
Method and system for reducing interference between adjacent antennas wherein one antenna transmits a first signal from a transmitter equipment and a second antenna receives a second signal by a receiver equipment, the first and the second signals may have the same frequency, and the angular discrimination between the TX antenna and the RX antenna in the same location is low. The transmitter equipment inputs an intermediate frequency contribution of the first signal into a cross-polar interference canceller, included in the receiver equipment, for reducing a co-channel interference in the receiver equipment caused by the first and the second signals, wherein the cross-polar interference canceller selects a desired signal from the two signals received so as to reduce said interference.

Electronic devices may be provided that contain wireless communications circuitry. The wireless communications circuitry may include radio-frequency transceiver circuitry coupled to multiple antennas. Signal strength measurements may be gathered using the antennas and corresponding signal strength difference measurements may be produced to reflect which of the antennas is exhibiting superior performing. The signal strength difference measurements may be filtered using time-based averaging filters with different speeds. Corresponding filtered difference measurements may be compared to antenna switching criteria such as antenna switching thresholds. An antenna switching threshold may be adjusted in real time based on computations of how much variation is exhibited as a function of time between the difference measurements filtered using the filters of different speeds. Information on device movement or other data may be used in making threshold adjustments.
