An apparatus and a method for canceling inter-antenna interference are provided. The apparatus to cancel inter-antenna interference includes a reception unit to receive, from a transmitter, first data and second data orthogonally coded with the first data, and to generate a received vector including the first data and the second data, a channel estimation unit to generate a channel state matrix with respect to a radio channel from a plurality of transmission antennas of the transmitter to the reception unit, a detection unit to detect the first data based on the channel state matrix and the received vector, a pseudo interference signal-generation unit to generate pseudo interference signals based on the channel state matrix and the detected first data, and an interference signal-canceling unit to cancel the pseudo interference signals from the received vector.

Apparatus and method for canceling inter-antenna interference of orthogonally coded signals

Apparatuses and methods for cancelling interferences between signals are provided. The apparatuses includes: a receiving unit that receives an orthogonal coded signal from a transmitter and generates a received vector; a channel estimation unit that estimates a state of a wireless channel from the transmitter to the apparatus where the cancelling of the interference between signals is performed and generates a channel state matrix; a Q-R decomposition unit that performs Q-R decomposition with respect to the generated channel state matrix and generates a Q matrix and an R matrix, and generates a decision statistic vector based on the generated Q matrix and the received vector; and a signal determination unit that determines a received signal with interference from the orthogonal coded signal being decreased based on the generated decision statistics vector.
