Abstract:
An OFDMA-MIMO receiver performs a recursive interference cancellation across several correlated subbands and several receive antenna elements to demodulate complex source symbols for several users that have been coded across several subbands and transmit antennas. The iterative parallel interference canceller (PIC) is configured to work in the presence of both spatial and frequency structure introduced by the transmitter space- frequency mapping and the actual frequency selective wireless channel. The interference canceller uses mixed decisions, confidence weights, and stabilizing step sizes in a PIC receiver, which may be used with a successive decoding architecture in a receiver that employs a combination of modulation level interference cancellation with successive decoding.
Abstract:
A multi-mode receiver includes a channel decomposition module (e.g., a Rake receiver) for separating a received signal into multipath components, an interference selector for selecting interfering paths and subchannels, a synthesizer for synthesizing interference signals from selected subchannel symbol estimates, and an interference canceller for cancelling selected interference in the received signal. At least one of the channel decomposition module, the synthesizer, and the interference canceller are configurable for processing multi-mode signals.
