A receiver, in particular a VAMOS receiver, is provided. The receiver is adapted to split the complex-valued baseband signal into its real and imaginary parts. The two branch system thus created is modeled as a real-valued Multiple Input Multiple Output, MIMO, system. The receiver is further adapted to use correlations of the noise, both in time and between branches of a channel to suppress the noise for multi-users in the same channel. In accordance with one embodiment the receiver is adapted to take into account the known symmetries present in a symbol constellation when more than one user exists in the same channel. This is for example the case in adaptive symbol constellation such as an adaptive alpha - QPSK constellation. Using the receiver in accordance with the above can provide the same performance as a joint detection receiver in the presence of Gaussian white noise, while giving better interference suppression than either SAIC or joint detection in the presence of GMSK modulated interference. |
