Patent ID: 7336930

Claim:
A method for detecting signal information in a wireless relaying network, said method comprising the steps of: a first network node storing, as a priori known signal information, previously received signal information representative of a first set of information including at least one data unit to be transmitted in total more than one time over at least one link; said first network node subsequently receiving signal information representative of a second set of information, wherein a transmission of said at least one data unit by a second network node interferes with the reception of said second set of information; and said first network node detecting at least part of said second set of information by interference cancellation based on the received signal information representative of said second set of information and at least part of said previously stored a priori known signal information, wherein said step of said first network node detecting at least part of said second set of information includes the step of processing a set {tilde over (D)} Σ representative of previously detected data packets and the received signal information R i according to: {tilde over ( D )}=ƒ( R i ,{tilde over (D)} Σ ), where ƒ is a predetermined objective function and {tilde over (D)} is the resulting set of detected data packets.
