Abstract:
1. A multi-branch equalizer processing module operable to selectively enable interference cancellation for the processing of received radio frequency (RF) burst(s), comprising: a mode selection module operable to selectively enable interference cancellation when a signal to noise ratio (SNR) associated with the RF burst(s) compares unfavorably with a predetermined SNR threshold, and wherein the predetermined SNR threshold is based on a operational mode associated with the RF burst(s); a first equalizer operable to be trained based upon a known training sequence, to equalize RF burst(s), and to extract data bits from the RF burst(s); and a second equalizer operable to be trained based upon at least the known training sequence, to equalize the RF burst(s), and to extract alternate data bits from RF burst(s), when the SNR associated with the RF burst(s) compares unfavorably with a predetermined SNR threshold.
