Abstract:
1. A method performed at one or more nodes of a wireless communication system to identify and mitigate interferences, the method comprising: monitoring automatic gain control (AGC) events occurring at a base station due to incoming signals over a predetermined time duration, the incoming signals comprising wireless transmissions from one or more base station(s) or one or more user equipment(s); generating AGC statistics of the AGC events in combination with a base band (BB) processing of a radio access technology (RAT) operating in the base station; identifying an interference due to the wireless transmissions from the base stations or the user equipments(s) based on the AGC statistics; evaluating a performance degradation at the base station due to the identified interference; and proposing one or more interference mitigation solutions based on the performance degradation, wherein the AGC statistics include statistics of AGC triggered states and AGC non-triggered states.
