Device for improving reception and method for improving reception

A method for improving reception of OFDM radio signals in a radio system comprising at least one base station and one or more mobile devices, comprising the steps:

• defining a time window in which neither the base station nor a mobile device pertaining to the radio system may transmit;
• in the mobile devices of the radio system receiving signals during the defined time window wherein the received signals are interference signals;
• detecting a frequency and a reception strength of at least one of the received interference signals;
• adapting a notch filter to the detected frequency and reception strength, wherein the notch filter filters the at least one received interference signal;
• and
• transforming the received signal filtered by the notch filter by means of a Fourier transformation in the frequency range and performing a channel estimation and distortion correction of the transformed received signal;
• wherein the mobile devices transmit data regarding their respective received interference signals to the base station and wherein the base station is configured to output this data.

A device for improving reception of OFDM radio signals in a radio system with at least one base station and one or more mobile devices, comprising

• a high-frequency scanning block, which outputs scanning values of a received signal;
• an FFT block for transformation of the scanning values in the frequency range;
• and
• a channel estimation and distortion correction block, which receives output signals of the FFT block for further processing;
• characterized in that the device additionally contains:
• a configurable notch filter, wherein the scanning values of the received signal only pass through the configurable notch filter and are then output to the FFT block;
• and
• a configuration circuit for configuration of the configurable notch filter which comprises a time control block, wherein the configuration circuit processes scanning values of the received signal in a time window determined by the time control block, detects frequency and reception strength of at least one interference signal therein and configures the configurable notch filter according to the interference signal;
• wherein neither the base station nor the one or more mobile devices transmit in the time window determined by the time control block and wherein the configuration circuit is only active within the time window characterized by the signal.
