Abstract: A receiver is configured for canceling intra-cell and inter-cell interference in coded, multiple-access, spread-spectrum transmissions that propagate through frequency-selective communication channels. The receiver employs iterative symbol-estimate weighting, subtractive cancellation with a stabilizing step-size, and mixed-decision symbol estimates. Receiver embodiments may be implemented explicitly in software or programmed hardware, or implicitly in standard Rake-based hardware either within the Rake (i.e., at the finger level) or outside the Rake (i.e., at the user or subchannel symbol level).

Abstract: A receiver employs low-rate processing to synthesize the effect of high-rate interference in a received multi-rate signal. Each high-rate subchannel is analyzed on its low-rate descendents to produce symbol estimates for each low-rate symbol interval. The symbol estimates are applied to low-rate descendent subchannels, which are then combined to synthesize the effects of the high-rate interference. An interference canceller processes the synthesized interference with the received signal for producing an interference-cancelled signal. Alternatively, analogous steps may be applied at high-rate to analyze, synthesize, and cancel the effects of low-rate interference in a multi-rate signal.

Abstract: A communication system having a forward link and/or reverse link comprising: at least one base station which transmits multiple radio frequency (RF) signals; and a mobile station, the mobile station including: a receiver for receiving the RF signals; means for converting the RF signal to an intermediate frequency (IF) signal; means for sampling the IF signal to generate a digital signal, the digital signal having a data component and an interference component; means for canceling co-channel and or cross-channel interference in the digital signal by projecting the IF signal into a subspace orthogonal to a subspace of the interference component and multiplying this projection with the digital signal; and means for acquisition and tracking of the digital signal.
