METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING INTERFERENCE WITHIN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method for reducing interference within a communication system is provided herein. A receiver (100), and method for operating a receiver are provided. The receiver operates by utilizing a filter bank (103-104) to partition a wide-band signal into smaller sub-bands. Interference suppression takes place individually on the sub-bands (frequency bands) instead of on the wideband signal as a whole. By using interference suppression on smaller sub-bands, interference suppression techniques can be utilized with less computational complexity than when performing interference suppression on the broadband signal as a whole.
