Abstract
The invention relates to a method and circuit arrangement for compensating for an interference component included in a signal in a digital transmission system such as a mobile communication system, radio system or television system. In the method according to the invention a decision error representing an interfering signal is classified using an adaptive method, and a table is drawn up of interference estimates corresponding to classified decision errors. So it is obtained on the basis of previous decision errors an interference estimate corresponding to the next signal sample and that estimate is subtracted from the signal sample before the current decision. The adaptive method is preferably a neural method such as a self-organizing map. With the method according to the invention it is possible to compensate for an interference component in a signal regardless of the interference source assuming that the interfering signal has internal correlation. If required, it is also possible to include in the method according to the invention equalization for delayed payload signal components.
