  • Enhanced passive intermodulation detection in wireless networks
    Patent number: 11277161
    Abstract: Interference caused by passive intermodulation (PIM) can be automatically detected at receivers in a wireless telecommunications network, and the accuracy of PIM detection can be increased by de-weighting or ignoring time slots in which non-PIM interference is detected at a target receiver.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 16, 2020
    Date of Patent: March 15, 2022
    Assignee: Spectrum Effect Inc.
    Inventors: Diego Ayala, Eamonn Gormley, David James Ryan, Charles Immendorf, Rekha Menon
  • Secure network information exchange for external interference detection and system for same
    Patent number: 11019514
    Abstract: A system and method that utilize data from co-sited cells that transmit and receive data on frequencies that are licensed to different operators facilitate sharing cellular configuration and performance data without revealing proprietary data to competing operators. Detection of external interference is enhanced by data from different operators.
    Type: Grant

  • Remote passive intermodulation detection using nearby transmissions
    Patent number: 10700721
    Abstract: Remote detection of interference generated by Passive Inter-Modulation (PIM) may be performed by determining intermodulation product information for a plurality of transmitters, receiving downlink power information of the plurality of transmitters, determining, using the intermodulation product information and the downlink power information, a Weighted Downlink Power (WDP) signal for an intermodulation product, and determining, using the WDP signal and uplink interference information, a PIM Detection Assessment (PIMDA) score of the intermodulation product, the value of the PIMDA score corresponding to interference generated by PIM. The WDP signal includes a plurality of expected power values. The remote detection of the interference generated by PIM may be performed by a wireless telecommunications system comprising a receiver and a processor, wherein the uplink interference information is of the receiver.
