Patent ID: 8369384

Claim:
A method for processing a received signal to generate an interference suppressed representation of said received signal, the method comprising: generating, in a circuit and/or a processor, one or more first estimate signals that estimate user signals present in said received signal; generating, in the circuit and/or the processor, a first residual signal based on information contained in said received signal and said one or more first estimate signals; generating, in the circuit and/or the processor, one or more first intermediate signals based on information contained in said one or more first estimate signals and said first residual signal; generating, in the circuit and/or the processor, one or more second estimate signals that estimate user signals present in said one or more first intermediate signals; generating, in the circuit and/or the processor, one or more incremental estimate signals by subtracting said one or more first estimate signals from said one or more second estimate signals; generating, in the circuit and/or the processor, a second residual signal based on information contained in said one or more incremental estimate signals and said first residual signal; and generating said interference suppressed representation of said received signal based on said one or more second estimate signals and said second residual signal.
