Performance of a receiver in interfering conditions
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to detect presence of interfering signals in a second frequency band, wherein said second frequency band is used by a receiver to receive signals via a radio interface, and wherein said receiver is combined in a single device with a communication system transceiver exchanging signals via a radio interface in a first frequency band, and to determine a timing pattern for detected interfering signals based on a timing information provided by said communication system transceiver, which timing information is indicative of timing for transmissions employed by said communication system transceiver; and
a processor configured to cause a manipulation of signals reaching said receiver during time intervals defined by a determined timing pattern, in order to reduce a performance degradation due to interfering signals originating from a transmitter external to said device, which transmitter employs a same timing for transmissions as said communication system transceiver of said device.

Abstract
A device 22 includes a communication system transceiver 40 for exchanging signals in a first frequency band and a receiver 30 for receiving signals in a second frequency band. In order to improve the performance of the receiver. A processing portion 34 of the devices detects the presence of signals interfering with the signals in the second frequency band and also determines a timing pattern for interfering signals based on a timing information which is indicative of the timing for transmissions employed by the transceiver 40. A manipulation of signals reaching the receiver 30 during intervals defined by the determined timing pattern is then done, in order to reduce a performance degradation due to interfering signals originating from a transmitter 21 employing the same timing for transmissions as the transceiver 40. A corresponding method is also disclosed.
