Patent ID: 7583766

Claim:
A method, comprising: implementing a bell labs space time algorithm over one block of correlation reception data y i and estimation channel values H of the correlation reception data y i to generate a group of temporary decision symbols C; selecting one symbol, C i k , having a maximum signal to noise ratio value from said temporary decision symbols; combining said temporary decision symbols, C, other than the selected symbol, C i k , with the estimation channel values H to recover a group of temporary interference signals over said selected symbol, C i k ; subtracting said interference signals from said correlation reception data y i to generate a corrected reception signal vector y i+1 ; identifying a more accurate decision symbol C i+1 k from the corrected reception signal vector y i+1 and the estimation channel values; and repeating the above steps for other symbols C i k {circumflex over k}, said operations being performed via a processor.
