Selective interference rejection combining

An apparatus, comprising

• at least one processor, and
• at least one memory including computer program code,
• wherein the at least one memory and the computer code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to at least perform the following:
• deciding, based on a previously estimated interference value, whether or not a user equipment or a sounding reference signal or a channel of an uplink signal is affected by a colored interference more than a first predefined threshold, wherein colored interference is an interference having a spatial predominance or spectral predominance or both;
• and
• suppressing interference rejection combining on the uplink signal if none of the user equipment, the sounding reference signal, and the channel of the received uplink signal is affected more than the first predefined threshold.
