Abstract:
1. A method of receiving a target link signal at a receiving device wherein the target link signal is received in a received signal also including an interfering link signal, the method comprising: estimating a quality of the interfering link signal in the received signal at the receiving device to provide an estimated interfering link signal quality, wherein estimating the quality of the interfering link signal comprises estimating a signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio of the interfering link signal; selecting one of a plurality of interference cancellation techniques responsive to the estimated interfering link signal quality; generating an interference cancellation signal using the selected one of the plurality of interference cancellation techniques, wherein the interference cancellation signal comprises an estimate of the interfering link signal; combining the interference cancellation signal comprising the estimate of the interfering link signal and the received signal to provide an interference reduced target link signal; responsive to combining the interference cancellation signal and the received signal, demodulating the interference reduced target link signal to provide a demodulated target link signal; and decoding the demodulated target link signal to provide a target link bit stream.
