Using Subtractive Interference Cancellation (epo) Patents (Class 375/E1.029)
  • Patent number: 8867650
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for cross clock domain interference cancellation is provided to a communication system which includes a transmitter operated in a first clock domain and a receiver operated in a second clock domain. The apparatus comprises a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) circuit and a cancellation signal generator. The FIFO circuit receives a digital transmission signal of the transmitter in the first clock domain, and outputs the digital transmission signal in the second clock domain according to an accumulated timing difference between the first and second clock domains. The cancellation signal generator generates a cancellation signal for canceling an interference signal received by the receiver according to the digital transmission signal outputted by the FIFO circuit. The interference signal is generated in response to the digital transmission signal.

  • Patent number: 8781043
    Abstract: Techniques for recovering a desired transmission in the presence of interfering transmissions are described. For successive equalization and cancellation (SEC), equalization is performed on a received signal to obtain an equalized signal for a first set of code channels. The first set may include all code channels for one sector, a subset of all code channels for one sector, multiple code channels for multiple sectors, etc. Data detection is then performed on the equalized signal to obtain a detected signal for the first set of code channels. A signal for the first set of code channels is reconstructed based on the detected signal. The reconstructed signal for the first set of code channels is then canceled from the received signal. Equalization, data detection, reconstruction, and cancellation are performed for at least one additional set of code channels in similar manner.

  • Patent number: 8446972
    Abstract: A reception device which communicates with a transmission device including multiple transmission antennas, the reception device including: at least one reception antenna which receives multiple transmission signals transmitted by the transmission device from the multiple transmission antennas; a propagation channel response estimation unit which estimates propagation channel responses among the multiple transmission antennas and the reception antenna; a block division unit which divides a reception signal of at least one of the reception antennas into multiple blocks based on a multipath; and a transmission signal detection unit which detects the transmission signals transmitted by the transmission device based on the reception signal divided by the block division unit into the multiple blocks and the propagation channel responses estimated by the propagation channel response estimation unit. The transmission signal detection unit includes: an interference cancellation unit and a signal separation unit.

  • Patent number: 7702023
    Abstract: Interference mitigation strategies are presented for use within a transmitter in a wireless system. In at least one embodiment, one or more transmit signals may be generated that are capable of suppressing common channel interference effects within an associated receiver. In other embodiments, one or more transmit signals may be generated that are capable of suppressing dedicated channel interference effects within an associated receiver.
