Patent ID: 8311484

Claim:
A method for signal processing in a wireless communication device, comprising: receiving, by the wireless communication device, a raw signal including a desired signal from a serving base transceiver station (BTS) and an undesired signal from a non-listened BTS, wherein the non-listened BTS includes a BTS that is not serving the wireless communication device and is not involved in a handoff of the wireless communication device; allocating, by the wireless communication device, a first portion of the wireless communication device to the serving BTS and a second portion of the wireless communication device to the non-listened BTS; processing, by the first portion, the desired signal; processing, by the second portion, the undesired signal; generating, by the second portion, a first estimate signal that estimates the undesired signal generating, by the second portion, an interference suppressed version of the raw signal based on the first estimate signal; and recovering, by the wireless communication device, the desired signal from the interference suppressed version of the raw signal.
