Method and apparatus for adaptive cancellation of external interference

摘要

In MU-MIMO scenarios, uncoordinated or external interference may be very significant. Such external interference can degrade the system performance as much as the internal interference. To address these problems, a desired signal subspace can be changed to avoid the external interference as much as possible. This technique can be applied in conjunction with systems that already cancel internal interference, such as Interference Alignment and Joint Processing. An original signal space may be broken down to desired and interference subspaces that are orthogonal to each other. The receiver can notify the transmitter of the boundary, and transmitter in turn can project the transmitted signal to fall into the desired subspace. The receiver can project the received signal into the desired subspace, which cancels everything not contained in the desired subspace.
