MITIGATION OF TRANSMITTED ENERGY ON SUBCARRIERS USING DYNAMIC AMPLIFICATION

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for mitigating energy transmitted on subcarriers in a communications network. For example, an operational bandwidth of an amplifier may be adjusted in real-time based on the network’s current needs. A controller may communicate with a scheduler to identify which range of frequencies within an input signal received at the amplifier contain blanked PRBs and which contain active PRBs. The amplifier may then selectively amplify only the active PRB frequencies and exclude the blanked PRBs, thereby reducing residual energy transmission and interference typically caused when blanked PRBs are amplified.
