  • Patent number: 12149278
    Abstract: Provided herein are circuits and methods for processing samples of a received in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) domain signal that includes a desired signal and an interference signal that spectrally overlaps the desired signal. In the I/Q domain, a first contribution to the interference signal is removed from the samples using a first algorithm to generate first processed signal samples. Amplitudes and phases of the first processed signal samples are obtained. In an amplitude domain, a second contribution to the interference signal is removed from the amplitudes of the first processed signal samples using a second algorithm to generate second processed signal samples. A signal quality metric of the second processed signal samples is obtained. Based on the signal quality metric of the second processed signal samples, one or more parameters of the first or second algorithm are adjusted to improve the signal quality metric of the second processed signal samples.

  • Patent number: 12107657
    Abstract: A network node (18) identifies radio beams (50) that are affected by periodic fading at a User Equipment (UE) (12) and penalizes the identified beams (50) with respect to a serving-beam selection procedure that is used to select a serving radio beam (60) for the UE (12). For example, among a set (52) of radio beams (50) that are candidates for serving the UE (12), the serving-beam selection procedure selects one or more of the candidate beams (50) according to rankings determined from radio-signal measurements reported by the UE (12) or from measurements on Sounding Reference Signals (SRS) transmitted by the UE (12). In this context, penalizing a beam (50) means discounting its ranking for purposes of considering it within the beam-selection procedure.
