Publication number: 20170170998Abstract: Interference may affect numerous communication systems. Thus, certain wireless communication systems that rely on combining transmitted repetitions of information may benefit from interference removal techniques, such as those that provide pre-combiner interference removal. A method can include receiving, from a transmitter, multiple repetitions of a same information sent from the transmitter over a channel. The method can also include removing interference from the respective repetitions. The method can further include combining the interference-removed repetitions. The method can additionally include performing channel estimation based on the combined interference-removed repetitions. The method can also include retrieving information corresponding to the same information sent in the multiple repetitions based on the channel estimation and combined interference-removed repetitions.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2016Publication date: June 15, 2017Inventors: Sathiaseelan SUNDARALINGAM, Srinivasan SELVAGANAPATHY, Muneender CHIRANJI, Olli Juhani PIIRAINEN
