  • Publication number: 20210144017
    Abstract: A method for replacing an identity certificate in a blockchain network includes a service subnet, a consensus subnet, and a routing layer used for isolating the service subnet from the consensus subnet. The method includes: receiving a root certificate replacement notification transmitted by a certificate authentication center; obtaining a public key corresponding to the certificate authentication center; verifying the root certificate replacement notification by using the obtained public key; forwarding the root certificate replacement notification to a consensus node in the consensus subnet after the validation succeeds, so that the consensus node records the root certificate replacement notification into a latest data block after a consensus on the root certificate replacement notification is reached; and requesting, when the data block is received, the certificate authentication center to replace an identity certificate.

In this regard, one or more circuits and/or processors of a mobile communication device may generate and/or receive a first set of channel estimates and a second set of channel estimates. The one or more circuits and/or processors may modify the second set of channel estimates based on a comparison of a measure of correlation between the first set of channel estimates and the second set of channel estimates with a threshold. The first set of channel estimates and/or the modified second set of channel estimates may be utilized for cancelling interference in received signals. The first set of channel estimates may be associated with a first transmit antenna of a base transceiver station and the second set of channel estimates may be associated with a second transmit antenna of the base transceiver station.
