Interference management in a wireless communication system using beam and null steering

摘要

Interference that occurs during wireless communication may be managed through the use of beam and null steering techniques. A method, apparatus and medium of communication determine an interference direction of a non-associated access terminal generating an interfering signal. Transmitted and received signals are then transceived away from the interference direction.

主权项

1. A method of communication, comprising:
determining an interference direction of a non-associated access terminal generating an interfering signal; and transceiving signals away from the interference direction when the interfering signal from the non-associated access terminal exceeds a high signal strength threshold, wherein the high signal strength threshold indicates that a non-interfering signal from any associated access terminal located in the interference direction would not be decodable.
