Patent ID: 10211933

Abstract:
A method of classifying one or more interferers in a Co-Channel Interference (CCI) by a communication device including receiving, by a receiver, an in-phase and quadrature (IQ) symbol and a pilot symbol, generating, by an eigenvalue generator, eigenvalues in accordance with the received IQ symbol and the pilot symbol, computing, by an Signal To Interference Plus Noise Ratio (SINR) calculator, a SINR from the IQ symbol and the pilot symbol, and classifying, by an interferer classifier, the one or more interferers into one of a single interferer or multiple interferers based on the generated eigenvalues and the computed SINR may be provided. The method may be independent of underlying modulation scheme and Radio Access Technology (RAT) and improve a receiver of the communication device performance by at least 1.2 dB.
