RECEIVER APPARATUS, AND ASSOCIATED METHOD, FOR RECEVING A RECEIVE SIGNAL TRANSMITTED UPON A CHANNEL SUSCEPTIBLE TO INTERFERENCE

摘要

APPARATUS (85, 92), AND AN ASSOCIATED METHOD, FOR ESTIMATING AN INTERFERING - SIGNAL COMPONENT PORTION OF A RECEIVE SIGNAL RECEIVED AT A RECEIVER (76). THE TRAINING SEQUENCE (54) ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTERFERING-SIGNAL COMPONENT PORTION IS DETERMINED, EVEN WITHOUT PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRAINING SEQUENCE (54) ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH INTERFERING-SIGNAL COMPONENT PORTION. ONCE THE TRAINING SEQUENCE (54) OF THE INTERFERING -SIGNAL COMPONENT PORTION IS DETERMINED, THE RECEIVE SIGNAL IS SELECTIVELY, JOINTLY-DETECTED UTILIZING A JOINT DETECTOR (118), THE INTERFERING-SIGNAL COMPONENT PORTION OF THE RECEIVE SIGNAL IS BETTER ABLE THEREBY TO BE CANCELED OR OTHERWISE SUPPRESSED.(FIG. 4)
