Abstract:
A receiver includes multi-user detection (MUD) functionality and a cognitive engine. The receiver may also be coupled to multiple antennas and have analog beamforming capability. The cognitive engine is operative for selecting a beam or beams associated with the multiple antennas to enable successful demodulation by the MUD. The receiver has application in multiple access channels and in other communication scenarios.

Claim (Index 57):
A cognitive engine for a communication device having a plurality of receive beams in a multi-signal wireless environment having a signal of interest and one or more interfering signals, the cognitive engine comprising:\n an operating point determination unit configured to identify an operating point of the communication device; a beam grading unit configured, for each of a plurality of combinations of one or more receive beams, to determine whether the combination is feasible for use at the operating point and, if so, to determine for each such combination a grade indicative of a relationship between received power levels of the signal of interest and the one or more interfering signals; and an ordered beam list generation unit configured to generate an ordered list, of at least a portion of the plurality of combinations, based on the grades provided by the beam grading unit, for use by a multi-user detector (MUD) to demodulate the signal of interest.
