APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SELECTION OF A SET OF CELLS FOR INTERFERENCE CANCELLATION IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Apparatus and methods are disclosed for generating and managing a set of sectors the signals received from which are utilized to generate an interference estimate for use by an interference cancellation circuit. The set of sectors generally includes a subset of the combined set of sectors in the Active Set and the Candidate Set for an access terminal. A finger of a receiver at an access terminal can be assigned to each sector in the set of sectors for interference cancellation to improve receiver operations. Other aspects embodiments and features are also claimed and described.
