Abstract
A blanking scheme for mitigating impulsive noise in wireless networks is based on the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of symbols. To fully gain the benefits of the SNR-based blanking scheme, two methods are developed, namely a multi-level thresholding scheme in the time-, spatial- and frequency-domains, and a weighted-input error-correction decoding. The symbols are conditioned as a function of the estimated SNR in time-, frequency-, or spatial-domains or combinations therefore, and the conditioning is applied to an amplitude, phase, or energy level, or combinations thereof.
