Abstract
There is provided a method of handling interference caused by inter-modulation in a network node. The method comprises detecting an interference level on an uplink carrier frequency band for stations, and determining whether the interference level indicates probable inter-modulation interference. If the interference level indicates probable inter-modulation interference, the method proceeds with scheduling an uplink transmission grant for at least one of the stations. The uplink transmission grant is valid for a first transmission time interval. The uplink transmission grant is transmitted to the station. A transmit level on the downlink carrier frequency band is assigned at the first transmission time interval such that inter-modulation interference is reduced on the uplink carrier frequency band at the first transmission time interval. An uplink transmission from the station is received at the first transmission time interval. Further methods, computer programs, a network node and a network node site are also disclosed.
