Abstract:
1. A method to reduce interference, the method comprising: at a first base station, demodulating and decoding a signal sent from at least one access terminal and received by the first base station, wherein the signal comprises an interlace of time-separated subpackets corresponding to a packet; during a time interval associated with receiving data that is interlaced between the time-separated subpackets, sending, by the first base station, demodulated, decoded information of the signal to a second base station; reconstructing the signal at the second base station; and subtracting the reconstructed signal at a buffer of the second base station, wherein sending the demodulated, decoded information of the signal to the second base station occurs between receiving two subpackets of the interlace, wherein decoding the signal comprises at least one of sending an acknowledgement signal for a successfully decoded packet and sending a negative acknowledgement signal for a non-successfully decoded packet, and wherein demodulating and decoding the signal comprises demodulating the time-separated subpackets and decoding packets from subpackets sent from a plurality of access terminals and received by the first base station in a same time frame.
