Symbol-Based Control of Passive Intermodulation Cancellation in a Network Node

A method for symbol-based control of passive intermodulation (PIM) cancellation in a network node, the method being performed by a controller, the method comprising:

• for each incoming baseband symbol, obtaining a power indication that indicates whether the incoming baseband symbol is a zero-power symbol;
• and
• for each incoming baseband symbol indicated to be a zero-power symbol, providing a deactivation indication to deactivate the PIM cancellation from being performed for the incoming baseband symbol.

A controller configured to facilitate symbol-based control of passive intermodulation (PIM) cancellation in a network node, the controller comprising processing circuitry configured to cause the controller to:

• for each incoming baseband symbol, obtain a power indication that indicates whether the incoming baseband symbol is a zero-power symbol;
• and
• for each incoming baseband symbol indicated to be a zero-power symbol, provide a deactivation indication to deactivate the PIM cancellation from being performed for the incoming baseband symbol.

Non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry of a controller configured to facilitate symbol-based control of passive intermodulation (PIM) cancellation, cause the controller to:

• for each incoming baseband symbol, obtain a power indication that indicates whether the incoming baseband symbol is a zero-power symbol;
• and
• for each incoming baseband symbol indicated to be a zero-power symbol, provide a deactivation indication to deactivate the PIM cancellation from being performed for the incoming baseband symbol.
