Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé mis en œuvre par un nœud de réseau pour détecter un brouillage à largeur de bande limitée dans une liaison montante (UL) monoporteuse émanant d'un équipement utilisateur (UE) dans un réseau de communication sans fil. Le nœud de réseau reçoit (201) une séquence de données de l'UL monoporteuse. Le nœud de réseau définit (202) un test statistique à deux échantillons à noyaux, formant une mesure de distance d'écart moyen maximal, MMD, élevé au carré. Le nœud de réseau obtient (203) une première séquence Y. La première séquence Y comprend une séquence d'un nombre entier N d'échantillons comprenant des données UL idéales d'une configuration donnée associée à des caractéristiques de l'UL monoporteuse. Le nœud de réseau obtient en outre (204) une seconde séquence X, laquelle seconde séquence X comprend une séquence du nombre entier N d'échantillons tirés de la séquence de données reçue. Le nœud de réseau décide (206) si un brouillage à largeur de bande limitée est présent dans l'UL monoporteuse, sur la base de la comparaison (205) de la première séquence Y avec la seconde séquence X selon le test statistique à deux échantillons à noyaux défini.
