The amount of interference to communications in Time Division Duplexing
(TDD) mode between a TDD mobile and a TDD base station from a mobile
operating in Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) mode that is located near
to the TDD base station can be reduced by passing information regarding
the interfering FDD signal to the TDD base station, where it is processed
and subtracted from the received TDD signal, which includes the
interference, so as to obtain the pure TDD signal, as required. Either
the FDD data (22), or an FDD signal (23) regenerated from the FDD data or
simply the received FDD signal (21) can be passed (24) to the TDD base
station. The TDD base station can regenerate an FDD signal, if required,
which is then filtered (25) using TDD filters and normalized by
correlating (26) and scaling (27) the filtered FDD signal to a received
TDD signal. The normalized FDD signal is then subtracted (28) from the
received TDD signal to reduce the interference.
