Abstract
There is provided mechanisms for mitigating passive intermodulation in a first network node, wherein said PIM is caused by radio signals transmitted from at least an adjacent network node. The method is performed by a control device. The method comprises receiving at least an uplink radio signal and down-converting the received UL radio signal to a UL baseband signal. The method applies a cyclic redundancy check, CRC, to detected information bits of the received UL baseband signal, wherein in response to determining by the CRC that the UL baseband signal is detected correctly, directly output the detected information bits. The method comprises in response to determining by the CRC that the UL baseband signal is incorrectly detected, determining a residual signal of the received UL baseband signal applying a blind signal identification scheme on the residual signal of the UL baseband signal to obtain an estimate for a modeled PIM signal. The method comprises subtracting the estimated modelled PIM signal from the received UL baseband signal as in the first step and updating the received UL baseband signal in an iterative process until CRC is detected correctly or until number of iterations exceeds a predetermined threshold.
