Abstract:
A method for co-channel interference identification and mitigation employs adaptive sequence detection in connection with a model composed of a signal of interest and a combination other signals which constitute interference in a channel of interest, wherein the signal of interest is distinguished from the interference by adaptive tracking of signal parameters of all identifiable signals. In a particular embodiment, the process involves estimating the number and time spans of co-channel interference channels based on maximum likelihood estimation and minimum description length from training information derived from a single time division multiple access packet; and then applying the estimate to mitigation of co-channel interference at a receiver. Per-survivor-processing is one technique for adaptive sequence detection.
