- Abstract
- Radio frequency interference (RFI) in a co-located network is a major challenge faced by cellular network operators. The RFI issues are prominent when the radio frequency transceivers consisting of two or more co-located networks operate within close or adjacent frequency bands. This paper presents the mechanisms of RFI caused by spurious emission and receiver blocking in a colocated network and proffer industry solution through the application of various mitigation techniques. One method may reduce a particular type of interference to a certain level, a combination of two or more methods can conveniently reduce the interference to an acceptable level.
