Virtual network function for signal cancellation

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations for canceling an interferer signal in a satellite communication system, the operations comprising:

• instantiating a signal cancellation function at a compute infrastructure;
• digitizing a received signal to produce a digital waveform of the received signal, the received signal having been received via an antenna;
• performing, by the signal cancellation function, a virtualized demodulation on the digital waveform of the received signal to produce a bit sequence of the interferer signal;
• performing, by the signal cancellation function, a virtualized modulation on the bit sequence of the interferer signal to produce a digital waveform of the interferer signal;
• delaying the digital waveform of the received signal based on one or more delay factors to produce a delayed digital waveform of the received signal;
• and
• subtracting the digital waveform of the interferer signal from the delayed digital waveform of the received signal to produce an output digital waveform.
