  • Patent number: 8995917
    Abstract: A method detects a first baseband signal sent by a first sending station via an air interface to a first radio station of a radio communications system. A first receive signal, which contains the first baseband signal superposed with at least a second baseband signal sent by a second sending station to a second radio station, is received by the first radio station. The first radio station uses at least a second receive signal received by the second radio station for detection of the first baseband signal. The second receive signal contains at least the second baseband signal, and is used to at least partially cancel the interference in the first receive signal caused by the second baseband signal.

  • Patent number: 8982833
    Abstract: A scheduling processor allocates a time slot of a communication protocol to a user equipment for data transmission based on received control data of the same or another user equipment in a current time slot and received user data of the same or another user equipment in a preceding time slot, while ignoring user data of the same or any other user equipment received in the current time slot. The scheduling processor also allocates a frequency resource to the user equipment. A control channel managing processor allocates signaling resources on a control channel for the submission of control information to the user equipment, which informs of the time slot allocated by the time domain scheduling processor as well as of the frequency resource allocated by the frequency domain scheduling processor.
