Interference reduction apparatus and method

摘要

A receiver and a receiving method for receiving code division multiplexed signals transmitted from a first transmitter which is adjacent to second and third transmitters transmitting code division multiplexed signals. The receiver comprises despreading timing means (56) for deciding despreading timings which include receiving a path timing Ä of a transmission path from the fist transmitter and interference-reducing timings Ä ± ”Ä, wherein the timing ”Ä corresponds to a time interval between a receiving timing Ä 1 of a second transmission path from the second transmitter and a receiving timing Ä 2 of a third transmission path from the third transmitter; and despreading means for despreading received signals in accordance with the despreading timings decided by the despreading timing decision means (56).
