Interference cancellation is performed in a CDMA receiver by projecting a received signal onto a subspace that is orthogonal to a signal selected for removal. An interference matrix or a combined interference vector is used to construct an interference-canceling projection operator. Confidence weights may be provided to components of the interference matrix or the interference vector based on estimation errors or relative strengths of interfering signals. Complexity reduction of the orthogonal projection operator may be achieved by providing for simplifying approximations that remove terms and operations. A linear transformation operator may be applied to the rows and/or columns of the interference matrix or the interference vector prior to construction of the orthogonal projection. Interference cancellation techniques may be configured for processing signals in a transmit-diversity system or a receive-diversity system using time and/or frequency-domain implementations and space and/or wave-number implementations of the transceiver.

An Apparatus and a method for interference cancellation in a wireless communication system are provided. When a resource of an Interference Cancellation (IC) zone is allocated to a terminal traveling in a service coverage, resource allocation information relating to an IC zone of neighbor cells is gathered.

The resource allocation information relating to the resource allocated to the terminal is transmitted to the terminal. Accordingly, when the interference is present, the interference cancellation is carried out to reduce the load on the terminal and enhance the reception performance.

An impluse response h_mn(q) of each transmission path is estimated from N received signals r_m (m=1, . . . , M) and a known signal (for a number of users equal to N, n=1, . . . , N). M×N matrix H (q) having h_mn(q) as an element and a Q×Q matrix H having H(q) as an element are determined (where Q represents a number of multipaths of each transmitted wave and q=0, . . . , Q−1). A soft decision value b′_n(k) is determined from decoded λ₂ [b_n(k)], and this is used to generate an interference component matrix B′(k) to generate an interference replica H·B′(k). The interference replica H·B′(k) is subtracted from a received matrix y(k) to determine y′(k). y(k) and H are used to determine an adaptive filter coefficient w_n(k) to be applied to an n-th user in order to eliminate residual interference components in y′(k) according to the minimum mean square error criteria. y(k) is passed through w_n(k) to provide a log-likelihood ratio as a received signal from the user n from which interferences are eliminated.

Interference is cancelled from a baseband signal by synthesizing interference from estimated symbols in interfering subchannels.

The estimated pre-processed SINR is obtained from averages of estimated symbol energies and estimated noise variances, or from related statistical procedures.

The invention discloses a multi-access interference elimination method of an uplink multiuser MIMO system, which relates to an advanced long term evolution system (LTE-Advanced). At the reception end of a base station, a null space matrix is obtained by utilizing the channel state information of the paired users and then constructed into a transformation matrix which does not reduce the channel multiplexing degree; and the transformation matrix is utilized to process a received signal so as to eliminate the multi-access interference between the paired users. When the users are scheduled, the different users using the same codebook are restricted from occupying a same time frequency resource and the probability that the users with relatively larger channel relativity are paired with each other is decreased, so as to minimize the influence of the transformation matrix on the effective signal strength. Simulation shows that the invention can remarkably reduce the multi-access interference of the uplink multiuser MIMO system, improve the signal to noise ratio of the user and enhance the system throughput.

The invention relates to a terminal access method, device and system in a wireless communication system. In the invention, a base station of the wireless communication system carries out a transceiving operation by using a primary channel and a secondary channel, and a periodicity of the base station is switched between the primary channel and the secondary channel. The method also includes the following steps: after the terminal to be accessed determines that the access operation is not completed through the primary channel of the base station, an interference state of the primary channel of the base station is detected.

In a co-channel deployment of narrowband and multi-carrier technologies (e.g., a femtocell and a macrocell), a method provides cancelling of interference which treats the co-channel signals as desired signals and enhances each of them iteratively. At each iteration, each signal is demodulated and regenerated based on symbol decisions already made and a predetermined channel impulse response. To estimate the other (interfering) co-channel signal, the regenerated signal is subtracted from the aggregate signal. Simulations have shown that a method of the present invention can provide fundamental improvement in the performances of both interfering systems in as few as two iterations. The fundamental performance gain that can be obtained outweigh the required computational burden.

Cancellation of interference in a communication system with application to S-CDMA. A relatively straight-forward implemented, and computationally efficient approach of selecting a predetermined number of unused codes is used to perform weighted linear combination selectively with each of the input spread signals in a multiple access communication system. If desired, the predetermined number of unused codes is always the same in each implementation. Alternatively, the predetermined number of unused codes are selected from within a reordered code matrix using knowledge that is shared between the two ends of a communication system, such as between the CMs and a CMTS. While the context of an S-CDMA communication system having CMs and a CMTS is used, the solution is generally applicable to any communication system that seeks to cancel narrowband interference. Several embodiments are also described that show the generic applicability of the solution across a wide variety of systems.
