Abstract
A process and receiver for canceling interference generated by a set interference base stations in a synchronized OFDM communication system and receiver in a User Equipment comprising a set of Nrx antennas. The process and receiver that cancels interference generated by a set of base stations performs OFDM demodulation on a receiver signal for each antenna of a user equipment (UE). The process and receiver also monitors each UE antenna for pilot signals generated by nearby base stations. Then the process or receiver extracts the pilot signals and establishes a list of existing base station antennas. The channel power of any interfering antennas is measured and then the Nrx-N most powerful antenna is selected. The process or receiver then performs a joint detection of the N useful Data Symbols (UDS), together with the (Nrx-N) Interfering Data Symbols (IDS) that are demodulated by demodulation blocks. Thus, after being detected, the Nrx-N most powerful IDSs can be encoded and re-injected into a cancellation loop.
