Abstract
The disclosed technology provides a system and method for determining an uplink (UL) waveform for a mobile device to use for UL transmission in carrier aggregation or dual connectivity modes, where the UL waveform is selected to eliminate or minimize the deleterious effects of intermodulation distortion (IMD). The system identifies frequency bands scheduled for use by the mobile device for concurrent UL transmissions and for DL transmissions and determines if the combination of frequency bands can lead to high IMD. If the combination can lead to high IMD, the system can instruct the mobile device to switch to a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT)-spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) (DFT-s-OFDM) waveform for UL transmissions; if the combination would not likely lead to high IMD, the system can instruct the mobile device to switch to a Cyclic Prefix OFDM (CP-OFDM) waveform for the UL transmissions.
