Abstract:
1. A method for wireless communications, the method comprising: communicating with a plurality of sectors in an active set; receiving independent data streams from the plurality of sectors on the same carrier; sorting the independent data streams based on a load of the sector of the plurality of sectors from which the respective independent data stream was received; removing interference based on a first independent data stream selected from the received independent data streams, the interference removed from the other received independent data streams to create a first iteration of processed received data streams; removing interference based on a second independent data stream selected from the first iteration of processed received data streams, the interference removed from the first iteration of processed received data streams to create a second iteration of processed received data streams; decoding the first independent data stream prior to removing interference from the other received data streams; and decoding the second independent data stream prior to removing interference from the first iteration of processed received data streams, wherein the first independent data stream is received from the sector of the plurality of sectors having the lowest load.
