Co-located frequency management and mitigation

摘要

System (201) for mitigating co-site interference includes a co-site filter bank (208) containing filters (2061, 2062, . . . 206n) which can be optionally selectively inserted in an antenna input/output path (2051, 2052, . . . 205n) of two or more transceivers (2041, 2042, . . . 204n). A control system (900) receives information concerning the transceivers. Based on the information, the control system determines whether optional RF filtering should be used to limit RF signals which are communicated to or from the transceivers so as to mitigate co-site interference.

主权项

1. A method for mitigating interference among a plurality of transceivers communicating using RF signals and located in close physical proximity, comprising:
receiving at a computer processor information concerning at least an operating frequency and a transmitter power output associated with each of said plurality of transceivers; if available, also receiving at said computer processor detailed transceiver information other than said operating frequency and said transmitter power output for at least one of said plurality of transceivers; determining, with said computer processor based on said information and said detailed transceiver information when available, whether optional RF filtering should be used to limit RF signals which are communicated to or from each transceiver in order to mitigate interference among said plurality of transceivers; and if said determining indicates that said optional RF filtering should be used, then automatically selectively performing said optional RF filtering to mitigate said interference; wherein said detailed transceiver information is selected from the group consisting of a transmitter noise profile, a value specifying receiver blocking performance, and a transmitter output waveform.
