Patent ID: 7796986

Claim:
A method of reducing interference, the method comprising: receiving at an interference reducer from a first radioterminal a measure of an error of a waveform that is received at the first radioterminal; receiving at the interference reducer from an electronic component a measure of at least one other waveform that has been transmitted to at least one second radioterminal and contributes an interference component to the waveform that is received at the first radioterminal, wherein the electronic component is separate from the first radioterminal and is also separate from the at least one second radioterminal; operating the interference reducer to process the measure of an error and the measure of at least one other waveform to generate at least one interference compensation value; and operating the interference reducer to combine the at least one interference compensation value with a waveform to generate an interference compensated waveform prior to transmission of the interference compensated waveform to the first radioterminal.
