Abstract:
1. A receiver comprising: at least two antennas for receiving signals from a first transmitter and a plurality of second transmitters; a channel estimator for estimating channel coefficients by using the signals received through the at least two antennas; an interference cancellation and signal processing unit for canceling interference in the signals received through the plurality of second transmitters by using the channel coefficients according to a predetermined interference cancellation scheme selected according to whether a type of the interference in the received signal is Space Time Block Coded (STBC) interference type, and for outputting the signal received from the first transmitter; and a detector for generating hypothesis symbols by multiplying the signals received from the interference cancellation and signal processing unit by the channel coefficients provided from the channel estimator, and for detecting symbols transmitted from the transmitters.
