Patent ID: 7602866

Claim:
Method for interference rejection on a signal, the method being performed in a receiver and comprising the steps of: the receiver performing a first interference rejection procedure on a first portion of a signal, giving a first manipulated signal, said first portion being less than an entirety of said signal; the receiver determining a first post-rejection signal quality measure of said first manipulated signal; wherein a remaining portion of said signal, which does not overlap with said first portion, remains untreated by said first interference rejection procedure during said performing step and said determining step; and the receiver following an interference rejection strategy in response to said first post-rejection signal quality measure including: performing said first interference rejection procedure on the entirety of said signal when a first criterion based on said first post-rejection signal quality measure is fulfilled, performing a second interference rejection procedure on said first portion of the signal, giving a second manipulated signal, when said first criterion is not fulfilled; determining a second post-rejection signal quality measure of said second manipulated signal; and performing one of the first interference rejection procedure and the second interference rejection procedure on the entirety of said signal in response to said second post-rejection signal quality measure.
