Abstract:
A communication system for receiving an input which includes a desired signal as well as interfering signals, at least some of said desired signal and interfering signals having associated therewith one of a plurality of identifier components, the identifier component associated with said desired signal being different than the identifier components associated with at least some of said interfering signals, said stem comprising:a. an identifier subsystem which uses a least square error estimation process for estimating the relative magnitudes of the identifier components associated with the desired signal and interfering signals which may be present;b. a receiver subs stem for receiving said input and for converting the input to a form usable by said identifier subsystem; andc. apparatus responsive to the relative magnitude estimates produced by said identifier subsystem and operable to facilitate the communication function of said system.
