Patent ID: 8787509

Claim:
A method for suppressing interference in a wireless communication, comprising the steps of: receiving a burst of symbols; generating a plurality of timing hypotheses for the burst of symbols; calculating a corresponding plurality of weights for each of the plurality of timing hypotheses based on a subset of the burst of symbols; filtering the subset of the burst of symbols using an interference suppression filter with the corresponding plurality of weights for each of the plurality of timing hypotheses; selecting one of the plurality of timing hypotheses based on a midamble estimation error of the selected timing hypothesis; filtering the burst of symbols using the interference suppression filter with a first plurality of weights corresponding to the selected timing hypothesis; decoding the filtered burst of symbols to generate data corresponding to the burst of symbols; encoding the data to generate a re-encoded burst of symbols; calculating a second plurality of weights for the interference suppression filter based upon the re-encoded burst of symbols; filtering the re-encoded burst of symbols using the interference suppression filter with the second plurality of weights; and decoding the filtered re-encoded burst of symbols.
