Apparatus for and method of adapting a radio receiver using control functions

摘要

An adaptive radio receiver utilizes control functions derived from received signals in an interference-limited environment to decide whether to implement conventional single-user demodulation or joint demodulation. The decision to implement joint or conventional demodulation is based upon the values of estimates derived for Doppler spread, carrier-to-interference plus noise, dispersiveness and the likelihood of the presence of a dominant interferer.
