Abstract
A method of calculating combining weight vectors associated with a received composite information signal comprising at least one data stream transmitted from at least a first antenna and a second antenna is disclosed. The method starts with computing a parametric estimate of an impairment covariance matrix including at least a first impairment term associated with common pilots deployed by the first antenna and the second antenna respectively. The first impairment term captures effects of interferences between the common pilots, in addition to effects of interferences caused by each common pilot singly. The impairment covariance matrix further includes a data covariance term capturing effects of the at least one data stream and an interference term caused at least partially by contribution of thermal noise of receiver branches. Then the method computes the combining weight vector using the computed impairment covariance matrix.
