Abstract: A receiver in which computation is simplified can be obtained by using a common factor for filter coefficients of FIR filters corresponding to a plurality of transmitting antennas and by using only the middle column of an inverse matrix of a gain matrix when the common factor is computed.

Abstract: A method of performing data equalization in a communication receiver with transmit and receive diversity includes (a) for each i-th receiver antenna and j-th transmitter antenna, calculating a channel response matrix Hi,j from multi-path channel estimates, (b) each i-th receiver antenna, calculating a channel gain matrix Gi from the channel response matrices Hi,j and a scalar noise factor ?, (c) calculating the middle column c0 of Gi?1, (d) calculating a filter coefficient vector wi,j from the middle column c0 of Gi?1 of and the Hermitian transpose Hi,jH of the corresponding channel response matrices Hi,j, (e) filtering input data ri received at each i-th receiver antenna with the corresponding filter coefficient vectors wi,j, (f) despreading the filtered input data from each i-th receiver antenna, (g) applying phase compensation to the despread data, and (h) combining the despread data from all antennas to obtain received equalized data.

Abstract: A method of cancelling interference induced by a coherent interference source in a spread spectrum receiver comprising the steps of: quantifying (44; 94) first interference values induced by the coherent interference source (SCH) in symbols on a first spread spectrum physical channel (P-CCPCH; CPICH); calculating (46, 48, 50; 96, 98, 100) second interference values induced by the coherent interference source in symbols on a second spread spectrum channel (DPCH) from the first interference values; and applying (18; 74) a correction value, derived from the second interference values, to the symbols on the second spread spectrum channel.
