Method and apparatus for canceling signals in a spread-spectrum communication system

摘要

A subscriber's signal (117) is removed from a composite signal (120) received in a serving base station (100), where the subscriber (113) is not in communication with the serving base station (100). The subscriber's signal (117) is removed from the composite signal (120) by receiving information regarding potential interferers in communication with the non-serving base stations (150). Next, a most reliable signal is determined from the potential interferers in communication with non-serving base stations (150-155). The most reliable signal is then removed from the composite signal (120).
