The present invention relates to a method to identify one or more
interference sources in a mobile radio system, preferably in a GSM radio
network for mobile telephones. A received signal (r) consists of a wanted
signal and a number of interference signals of which one is a dominating
interference signal and where all signals includes a known training
sequence (TK1,TK2, . . . ). The carrier is estimated and subtracted from
the received signal (r) giving a remaining interference signal (s).This
signal is correlated against known training sequences (TKj, j=0,1,2, . .
. ,7) resulting in a training sequence associated with the interfering
signal. According to the invention, the identification code (BCC) of a
possible interference source (BS1) from said training sequence is
determined. After that, a number of candidates (CA1,CA2, ), each
corresponding with a certain cell from the identification code (BCC) are
determined and also the frequency which is disturbed and the timing
offset (t1,t2, . . . FIG. 7) for the frequencies used by said candidates.
Finally it is investigated if one or more (fa,fb) of these have the same
time offset as the interference signal (t0) resulting in that at least
one candidate (CA3) with the best matching offsets on its frequencies is
identified as the interference source.
