Abstract
Methods and systems are described for jointly processing multiple sectors in a wireless communication network. In one aspect, a first antenna serving a first sector is associated with a second antenna serving a second sector for joint processing. First and second antenna data is received. A plurality of wireless users associated with at least one of the first or second antenna data to model for channel estimation is determined, including an interfering wireless user connected via a third antenna serving a third sector not currently being jointly processed with the first or second antenna data. Channel estimates are determined for the plurality of wireless users. The first and second antenna data is jointly processed. Interference from the wireless user connected via a third antenna is suppressed based on a determined corresponding channel estimate for the wireless user and other received information for the wireless user.
