Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: receiving, in a receiver, a composite signal, wherein the composite signal includes at least a beacon component comprising a sequence of interfering, regular beacon symbols; detecting, in the receiver, the sequence of interfering, regular beacon symbols in the received beacon component; determining, in the receiver, from the beacon component, a predicted reception time instant of a predicted future interfering beacon symbol, using accumulated knowledge of a beacon transmission pattern and past detected beacon symbols, by monitoring a periodicity of the sequence of interfering, regular beacons, accumulating knowledge of a beaconing pattern from the periodicity of the sequence of interfering, regular beacons, and predicting a time instant, when a future interfering beacon of the composite signal is predicted to arrive at the receiver; and canceling, in the receiver, from the composite signal that is received at the predicted reception time instant, a future received beacon symbol, based at least partly on the predicted future interfering beacon symbol.
