Patent ID: 8649470

Claim:
A method comprising: performing non-joint demodulation of a desired signal in response to a carrier-to-interference ratio estimate for a received signal being greater than or equal to a threshold level, the non-joint demodulating being based on first channel impulse response coefficients associated with the desired signal and second channel impulse response coefficients associated with one or more interfering signals; determining the second channel impulse response coefficients based on a first cross-correlation function between the received signal and a training sequence of an interfering signal of the one or more interfering signals; determining the first channel impulse response coefficients based on a second cross-correlation function between the received signal and a training sequence of the desired signal; and determining a time difference between a time value of a peak in the first cross-correlation function and a time value of a peak in the second cross-correlation function, wherein determining the second channel impulse response coefficients is further based on the time difference.
