Patent ID: 7130355

Claim:
A wireless receiver comprising: a reception module including M r antennas for acquiring a block of M r input signals in each of N symbols intervals, where each input signal is a sum of M t input signals from a transmitter, received at said receiver after passing through a channel having a memory of ν symbols intervals, where M r , and M t are integers greater than zero and ν is an integer greater than 1, which channel is characterized by signal transmission coefficients that vary from each of said symbol intervals to a next of said symbol intervals, said channel expressible by a matrix H, where a row of said matrix comprises signal transmission coefficients of said channel as experienced by one of said M r input signals at one of said N symbol intervals, and a next row of said matrix comprises signal transmission coefficients of said channel as experienced by said one of said M r input signals at a next one of said N symbol intervals; a filter module with modifiable coefficients responsive to said reception module; a detector module responsive to said filter module; and a processor, responsive to estimates of transmission coefficients of said channel, said processor developing coefficients for said filter and applying said developed coefficients to said filter.
