Abstract: A method for determining a center frequency in an unlicensed frequency band to use for downlink communication in a cellular network. The method is performed in a network node and comprises the steps of: performing a coarse pre-scan when the network node is in a transmit time slot, yielding respective coarse measurement of signal levels for a plurality of frequencies in the unlicensed frequency band; performing an accurate measurement when the network node is in a receive time slot, yielding respective accurate measurement of signal levels for a plurality of frequencies in the unlicensed frequency band; and determining at least one frequency to use as a center frequency for a downlink communication channel in the unlicensed frequency band.

Abstract: A method and radio node for controlling transmission of radio signals in a transmitter band to avoid or reduce interference in a victim band, the victim band being separate from the transmitter band in frequency domain. The radio node applies Digital Pre-Distortion, DPD, on signals to be transmitted on at least one carrier in the transmitter band, such that Intermodulation Distortion, IMD, components of the signals are pre-distorted asymmetrically relative the at least one carrier to suppress at least one of the IMD components falling within the victim band. The pre-distorted signals are then amplified in a power amplifier and transmitted on the at least one carrier.

Abstract: Cancelling of intermodulation interference is described. A digital signal sample (x) is received and a power of the received digital signal sample is obtained (243). Based on the obtained power, at least one model value is obtained from a model (244) that models model values of a non-linearity in amplitude and phase of a received signal that passes through passive and active components in the receiver. The model values correspond to a plurality of powers of the received signal. Intermodulation interference is then cancelled by multiplying (245) the received digital signal sample with the obtained at least one model value, thereby obtaining an output digital signal sample (y) from which intermodulation interference, inflicted by the receiver, is cancelled.

Abstract: A transceiver capable of handling both UWB and narrowband calls includes a mechanism for detecting when a signal from one of the narrowband systems will interfere the UWB communication and switching the UWB data connection link to the alternative data path.
