Abstract: A radio access network element, such as a remote radio head (RRH) comprises at least one processor and at least one memory. The at least one memory stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the radio access network element to: compute a communication delay between the radio access network element and a source of passive intermodulation, based on receiver group delay information for the radio access network element in the bandwidth of the passive intermodulation; and determine a distance between the source of passive intermodulation and the radio access network element based on the communication delay.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product is disclosed. The apparatus may comprise means for providing a model for a system for mitigating unwanted effects in a received signal and a means for determining a first curve, acorr, by performing autocorrelation of the model. The apparatus may also comprise means for determining a second curve, Xcorrenv, by performing cross-correlation of the model and a received signal comprising unwanted components due to first and second sources and means for estimating first and second delays associated with respective first and second sources based on the first and second curves, acorr, Xcorrenv. The unwanted effects in the received signal may be PIM products/components, but the disclosure is not limited to PIM alone, and embodiments may be used to mitigate or compute peaks in any interfering scenario where peaks may be hidden.
