Triple beat avoidance for contiguous and non-contiguous intra-band carrier aggregations

Abstract

Systems and methods for detecting and mitigating triple beat interference include implementing an intra-band carrier aggregation communications protocol across a plurality of frequency bands, identifying an intra-band carrier aggregation channel allocation for a client device, detecting triple beat interference in the plurality of frequency bands by the intra-band carrier aggregation channel allocation, and mitigating the detected triple beat interference through reallocation of the intra-band carrier aggregation channels to the client device. Mitigating may include adjusting one or more allocation parameters to derive an updated intra-band carrier aggregation channel allocation, detecting triple beat interference by the updated intra-band and carrier aggregation channel allocation, and repeating the adjusting step if triple beat interference is detected. Adjusting parameters may include incrementally increasing and/or decreasing an allocation parameter value, and repeating the adjusting step if the triple beat interference is detected or until the allocation parameter value is outside of an available range.
