Abstract:
1. A method for receiving a signal with an antenna array, comprising: receiving K replicas of the signal, each of the K replicas being received by one of a corresponding K antenna elements of the antenna array, wherein the K replicas include N replicas and M other replicas of the received signal; multiplexing the N replicas and the M replicas of the signal into a multiplexed signal provided to a single processing chain; removing interference due to the N signals from the multiplexed signal; demultiplexing, after the interference due to the N signals is removed, the M signals from the multiplexed signal, thereby generating M detected signals; removing interference due to the M signals from the multiplexed signal; and demultiplexing, after the interference due to the M signals is removed, the N signals from the multiplexed signal, thereby generating N detected signals.
