Patent number: 11405089Abstract: Systems and methods for managing interference in a communication network include transmitting a first downlink signal from a first transmit/receive point (TRP) to an electronic device using a beam. The electronic device can also receive a second downlink signal from a second TRP, where a portion of the first downlink signal from the first TRP interferes with the second downlink signal. The first TRP then receives a series of uplink pilot signals from the electronic device.
