A system and method for interference cancellation is provided to cancel/greatly reduce the interference of a wireless network. The interferers are separated from a desired signal using independent component analysis by hypothesizing the transmitting sequence. An optional whitening filter is used after the signal separation to improve the signal conditioning. The separated signal is processes by a second pass channel estimation to improve the signal channel estimation and is fed to MLSE algorithm, such as a Viterbi algorithm, for signal detection. The system and method provides significant gain over all previous methods with no limitation to the frequency type or specific interference profile such as the ratio of the dominant interferer to the other interferers. It is possible to separate the interferers without prior knowledge of the specific parameters of the interferers and with much less complexity than conventional joint demodulation detection methods. The algorithm employed is considered a blind estimation approach which makes it attractive for wireless devices that have limited power resources.
