Patent ID: 7450635

Claim:
A multi-branch equalizer processing module operable to cancel interference associated with received radio frequency (RF) burst(s), comprising: a first equalizer processing branch operable to: be trained based upon known training sequence(s); equalize the received RF burst(s); and extract data bits from the received RF burst(s); a deinterleaver operable to deinterleave the data bits; a channel decoder operable to decode a frame comprised of at least some of the data bits; a re-encoder operable to re-encode the frame to produce re-encoded data bits; an interleaver operable to interleave at least some of the re-encoded data bits to produce a re-encoded burst; a second equalizer processing branch, comprising: a buffer operable to receive and store the received RF burst(s) in memory; a linear equalizer operably coupled to the buffer, wherein the linear equalizer is operable to: be trained based upon at least the known training sequence(s); equalize the received RF burst(s) stored in memory; and extract alternate data bits from the received RF burst(s) stored in memory; the deinterleaver operable to deinterleave the alternate data bits; and the channel decoder operable to decode an alternate frame comprised of at least some of the alternate data bits.
