The estimated signal may be cancelled or subtracted from the received signal to produce a clearer image of the disturber signal. A blind data recovery performed upon the disturber signal. The recovered disturber data may be used as a reference for disturber channel estimation in order to produce a disturber channel impulse response. With the estimated disturber channel impulse response and the recovered disturber data, an estimated disturber signal may be reconstructed and subtracted from the received signal. This allows the cancellation of the estimated disturber signal. Without a clear or dominant disturber signal, a better representation of the main channel impulse response may be produced. This results in more accurate processing of the received RF bursts and improved receiver performance. | 07-02-2009 |

20160192210 | Interference Rejection Based Maximum SINR Pre-Filtering For Multiuser Detection In An LTE Uplink - Methods and systems for applying a multi-path, maximum SINR, pre-processing interference rejection filter to an interference-limited signal received from a plurality of users in a wireless network operating according to the Long Term Evolution (“LTE”) standard includes receiving raw data, including training data from a plurality of users, selecting at least one modeled user, subtracting a contribution of the modeled user(s) from the training data to form a residual training signal, forming an interference rejection covariance matrix from the residual training signal, whitening the raw data using the interference rejection covariance matrix, and equalizing the whitened received data. In embodiments, an estimated contribution of a subset of the modeled users is subtracted from the raw data for filtering in a subsequent turbo loop. The subset can be selected based on an estimated post-combined SINR, an estimated outage capacity, or an estimated multiuser efficiency of the received data. | 06-30-2016 |

20160380659 | SIGNAL PROCESSING METHOD AND APPARATUS - A signal processing method and apparatus are disclosed. The signal processing method includes: receiving, by a first signal processing apparatus, a mixed signal; acquiring, by the first signal processing apparatus, an energy strength ratio of the mixed signal, where the energy strength ratio includes a ratio of energy strength of a signal sent by a first signal source and received by the first signal processing apparatus to energy strength of a signal sent by a second signal source and received by the first signal processing apparatus; and if the energy strength ratio is less than a first preset threshold, using, by the first signal processing apparatus, the signal sent by the second signal source in the mixed signal as an interference signal and separating the interference signal, and determining that a mixed signal obtained after the separation processing is the desired signal sent by the first signal source. | 12-29-2016 |
