Methods, systems, and computer readable media for smart decoding of downlink signals in the presence of interference caused by reference signals of different generation air interface equipment

摘要

The subject matter described herein relates to methods, systems, and computer readable media for smart decoding of downlink signals in the presence of interference caused by reference signals of different generation air interface equipment. One method includes receiving, at a decoder, a downlink signal including interference caused by different generation network equipment. The method further includes providing information regarding reference signal locations to the decoder. The method further includes, at the decoder, weighting decoding error metrics resulting from received bits corresponding to the reference signal locations relative to decoding error metrics resulting from received bits corresponding to other locations to account for the presence of the interference caused by the reference signals. The method further includes decoding the received bits based on the relative weights and outputting a sequence of likely transmitted bits.
