SOFT LINEAR AND NON-LINEAR INTERFERENCE CANCELLATION

摘要

A two stage interference cancellation (IC) process includes a linear IC stage that suppresses co-channel interference (CCI) and adjacent channel interference (ACI). The linear IC stage disambiguates otherwise super-trellis data for non-linear cancellation. Soft linear IC processing is driven by a-posteriori probability (Apop) information. A second stage performs expectation maximization/Baum Welch (EM-BW) processing that reduces residual ISI left over from the first stage and also generates the Apop which drives the soft linear IC in an iterative manner.
