Abstract

See full text

At a wireless device operating in an unlicensed frequency band, energy received at a plurality of antennas is analyzed to detect interference on a channel in the unlicensed frequency band. The type of interference detected in the received energy is determined. Parameters are then generated for a nulling filter based on the type of interference detected in the received energy. The nulling filter is applied to the received energy at the plurality of antennas to produce a spatially filtered output. The spatially filtered output is evaluated to determine whether to send a transmission on the channel in the unlicensed frequency band.
