Method and apparatus for memory efficient architecture of successive interference cancellation for MIMO systems

摘要

In a method for performing successive interference cancellation (SIC) in a multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) communication channel, a plurality of received signals are processed to decode a first codeword. An equalizer is generated corresponding to a second codeword and applied to the plurality of received signals to generate an equalized signal. An interference signal is also generated using the first codeword and then subtracted from the equalized signal. The equalized signal is processed to decode the second codeword.
