View Patent ↗An exemplary method of controlling wireless communications includes generating a control signal that indicates a desired transmission timing of a plurality of interference signals from a respective plurality of interference devices. The control signal is transmitted to the plurality of interference devices.
1. A method of controlling wireless communications, comprising the steps of:
generating a control signal that indicates a desired transmission timing of a plurality of interference signals from a respective plurality of interference devices, the desired transmission timing scheduling the interference signal transmission from each of the interference devices with a timing that avoids mutual interference between the interference signals to allow at least one receiver device to be able to cancel an effect of each interference signal; and
transmitting the control signal to the plurality of interference devices.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the desired transmission timing prevents the plurality of interference signals from interfering with each other.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interference signals are coded and the desired transmission timing controls any mutual interference between the interference signals to be sufficiently low enough to allow the least one receiver device to decipher a code of each interference signal and to use the deciphered code for cancelling the effect of each interference signal.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the desired transmission timing schedules the interference signal transmissions at different times, respectively.
5. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
receiving the control signal at each of the interference devices; and
transmitting the interference signals according to the desired transmission timing of the received control signal.
6. The method of claim 1 , comprising
coding the interference signals using the same code for all of the interference signals.
7. The method of claim 1 , comprising
coding the interference signals using a code that is decipherable by at least one device receiving at least one of the interference signals.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interference signals are configured to interfere with at least an ability of a communication device to conduct wireless communications.
9. A method of controlling wireless communications, comprising the steps of:
generating a control signal that indicates a desired transmission timing of a plurality of interference signals from a respective plurality of interference devices wherein the desired transmission timing schedules at least some of the interference signal transmissions simultaneously; and
transmitting the control signal to the plurality of interference devices.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the desired transmission timing schedules all of the interference signal transmissions simultaneously.
11. A system for controlling wireless communications, comprising:
a plurality of interference devices that each transmit an interference signal; and
a controller that provides a control signal to the plurality of interference devices, the control signal indicating a desired transmission timing of the interference signals, the desired transmission timing scheduling the plurality of interference signals to avoid mutual interference between the interference signals to allow at least one receiver to cancel an effect of each interference signal.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the interference devices transmit the interference signals according to the desired transmission timing of the control signal.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the desired transmission timing prevents the plurality of interference signals from interfering with each other.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the interference signals are coded and the desired transmission timing controls any mutual interference between the interference signals to be sufficiently low enough to allow the least one receiver device to decipher a code of each interference signal and to use the deciphered code for cancelling the effect of each interference signal.
15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the desired transmission timing schedules the interference signal transmissions at different times, respectively.
16. The system of claim 11 , wherein the interference signals are coded and the interference devices all use the same code.
17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the interference signals are coded using a code that is decipherable by a communication device receiving at least one of the interference signals.
18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the interference signals are configured to interfere with at least an ability of a communication device to conduct wireless communications.
19. A system for controlling wireless communications, comprising:
a plurality of interference devices that each transmit an interference signal; and
a controller that provides a control signal to the plurality of interference devices, the control signal indicating a desired transmission timing of the interference signals wherein the desired transmission timing schedules at least some of the interference signal transmissions simultaneously.
