DIVERSITY RECEIVER FOR RADIO COMMUNICATIONS INTERFERENCE IN RADIO COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

A method for reducing interference combines soft symbols using existing processing devices. In particular, transmitted data signals are received over a plurality of paths. The received data signal includes an interference component. The received data signals are processed to provide a plurality of soft symbols that correspond to the transmitted data signal. The plurality of soft symbols are combined to reduce the interference component of the data signal and provided output signal that corresponds to the transmitted data signal. Accordingly, existing equalizers and combiners may be used to reduce interference. Related mobile user terminal and receivers are disclosed.
