Patent ID: 8811522

Claim:
A wireless User Equipment (UE) receiving system comprising: two or more beamformers, each beamformer having a plurality of tunable receiving antennas; and a control module configured to: carry out a periodic, non-continuous channel estimation on a plurality of desired signals and a plurality of undesired co-channel downlink signals which are transmitted from different base stations and received by said plurality of antennas; and identify the undesired co-channel downlink signals having a strongest interference level, wherein the control module is configured to select between two alternative weights tuning based on highest signal plus interference to noise ratio (SINR) by: tuning said plurality of tunable receiving antennas so as to maximize a total average power of said desired signals; and tuning said plurality of tunable receiving antennas so as to minimize a total average power of the identified undesired co-channel downlink signals having the strongest interference level.
