Abstract: An access node in a wireless communication network receives a transmission that includes first and second signals. The first and second signals may be layers of a multiple-input multiple-output transmission and may also be from first and second terminal nodes. The access node derives first and second local reference signals from the transmission received using first and second antennas and estimates channel transfer functions associated with the channel through with the transmission is received. Estimating the channel transfer function can include correlating at least a portion of an expected reference signal associated with the first signal with a corresponding portion of the first local reference signal and correlating at least a portion of an expected reference signal associated with the second signal with a corresponding portion of the second local reference signal. The expected reference signal portions used to estimate the channel transfer functions may be non-orthogonal.

Abstract: An access node in a wireless communication network conducts interference resolution to resolve decoding ambiguities in a received uplink transmission. The access node is assisted by receiving uplink transmission data from another, assisting access node. The received uplink transmission data may include, for example, frequency domain data elements as received by the assisting access node and received and expected reference signals. The access node uses the received uplink transmission data and related local uplink transmission data to estimate channel transfer functions which are then used to estimate and decode the received data. The access node may also improve estimated channel transfer functions by cross-correlation nulling.
