METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROCESSING RECEIVED SIGNALS FOR A WIRELESS NETWORK RECEIVER
First Claim
1. An add-on receiver module for mitigating foreign interference complementing a receiver of a wireless network, the receiver module comprising:
- a first interface for electrically coupling to a plurality of antennas for reception of desired signals and interference signals;
wherein the plurality of antennas are arranged in an antenna diversity scheme;
a hardware processor; and
a non-transitory memory having stored thereon program modules for instruction execution by the hardware processor, comprising;
an interference determination module for determining the presence of an interference signal originating from at least one foreign external transmitting source in the received signals, and for determining a termination of the interference signal;
a desired signal detection module for determining the presence of a desired signal originating from the wireless communication network in the received signals;
an interference cancellation module for calculating a suitable combination of the received signals, wherein the effect induced by the interference signal is reduced and the impact of an interference cancellation on the desired signals is reduced; and
a second interface for electrically coupling to a receiver unit of the wireless communication network, wherein the suitable combination is provided to the receiver unit by the second interface;
wherein the receiver module operates complementary to the receiver unit of the wireless network and the plurality of antennas;
wherein the receiver module is coupled within a signal receive path between the plurality of antennas of the receiver unit and the antenna ports of the receiver unit.
