Claim One:
1. A method, with an information processing system, in a wireless communication system, for suppressing interference, the method comprising: receiving a transmission from a target wireless device; receiving a transmission from an interfering wireless device; determining a set of pilot sequences associated with the interfering wireless device; determining a set of pilot sequences associated with the target wireless device; determining a channel estimate for the target wireless device for each pilot sequence in the set of pilot sequences associated with the interfering wireless device and a channel estimate for the interfering wireless device for each pilot sequence in the set of pilot sequences associated with the interfering wireless device as a function of the received transmissions, the set of pilot sequences associated with the interfering wireless device, and the set of pilot sequences associated with the target wireless device; determining a set of combining weights for each pilot sequence in the set of pilot sequences associated with the interfering wireless device as a function of the determined channel estimate of the target wireless device and the channel estimate of the interfering wireless device; and determining at least one pilot symbol estimate for the target communication device for each pilot sequence in the set of pilot sequences associated with the interfering wireless device as a function of the received transmission and the determined set of combining weights.
