Abstract:
Methods and devices for PIM-aware link adaptation are disclosed. According to some aspects, a network node and a method for link adaptation that accounts for passive intermodulation (PIM) at the network node of a wireless communication system are disclosed. A PIM power spectral density (PSD) versus the set of receive frequencies is determined based on at least one transmission frequency of a set of transmission frequencies at at least one antenna. Link adaptation is performed based on the PIM PSD versus a set of receive frequencies. Performing the link adaptation includes choosing at least one transmission parameter of a transmitter scheduled to transmit on a frequency among the set of receive frequencies.

Claim (Index 29):
A network node configured to perform link adaptation to compensate for passive intermodulation, PIM, the network node having a first transmitter configured to generate first transmissions at a set of transmission frequencies at at least one antenna and having a receiver configured to receive signals at a set of receive frequencies, the network node comprising:\n a PIM determiner module configured to determine, based on at least one transmission frequency of the set of transmission frequencies, a PIM power spectral density, PSD, versus the set of frequencies; and a link adaptation module configured to perform link adaptation based on the PIM PSD versus the set of receive frequencies, performing the link adaptation including choosing at least one transmission parameter of a second transmitter scheduled to transmit on a frequency among the set of receive frequencies.
