Abstract:
1. A method for processing a multipath signal in a receiver system including one or more processors and/or circuits, the method comprising: generating, by the one or more processors and/or circuits, a combined chip-level signal from a plurality of path signals of the multipath signal and corresponding channel estimation parameters; processing the combined chip-level signal to generate an interference suppressed symbol-level signal for at least one user; generating an interference suppressed chip-level signal for the at least one user from the interference suppressed symbol-level signal and the corresponding channel estimation parameters; generating an estimated chip-level signal from the interference suppressed chip-level signal for the at least one user; subtracting the estimated chip-level signal from the multipath signal to generate a multipath signal residue; and recovering user-specific information from the interference suppressed symbol-level signal for the at least one user and the multipath signal residue.
