Abstract: Techniques for providing a multi-stage iterative scheme to determine fine granularity estimates of parameters of an interfering signal and for using the fine granularity estimates of the parameters to reduce an impact of the interfering signal against a signal of interest (SOI) are disclosed. An input signal is identified. A first set of estimation parameters that provide a coarse granularity estimate of a center frequency of the jamming signal and of a symbol rate of the jamming signal are determined. The first set of estimation parameters are refined to generate a medium granularity estimate of the center frequency and the symbol rate of the jamming frequency. The medium granularity estimates are also refined to produce a fine granularity estimate of the center frequency and the symbol rate. The fine granularity estimates are used to remove or reduce an influence of the jamming signal on the input signal.

Abstract: Automatic adjustment of the transmission power, of 5G and 6G wireless messages, is necessary for efficient energy utilization and minimizing background generation, especially in high-density communication environments. However, the power level needed for adequate reception is a complex compromise among competing factors related to network performance, message features, and constantly changing noise/interference backgrounds. Disclosed are artificial intelligence systems and methods configured to determine an appropriate power level for communications. The AI model is trained to account for a wide range of conditions in real-time. For field use, an algorithm derived from the AI model, may be simplified and reduced in size to be appropriate for mobile user devices. The base station may prepare a map of signal attenuation factors, noting especially the “dead zones” of poor reception, and increase the transmission power whenever a mobile user device enters such a location. Many other aspects are disclosed.
