Apparatus and method for cancelling interference in a mobile communication system using multiple antennas
First Claim
1. A method of receiving a plurality of signals at a plurality of receive antennas in different paths from a plurality of transmit antennas in a mobile communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
- (1) estimating a transmitted signal from a predetermined path using signals received at each of the receive antennas using a predetermined rule;
(2) detecting transmitted data from the estimated transmitted signal by predetermined signal deprocessing;
(3) reproducing the transmitted signal from the detected transmitted data by predetermined signal processing;
(4) updating the received signals by subtracting the reproduced transmitted signal from the received signals; and
(5) repeating the steps of (1) through (4) until transmitted data from all paths are detected from the updated received signals.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for improving the performance of an error correction code against the effects of error waves in a Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) communication system are provided. In a receiver of the MIMO communication system, a Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) receiver unit estimates transmitted signals from at least two paths using signals received at each of receive antennas, a signal deprocessor selects one of the estimated signals, stores the other estimated signal, assigns weighting values to the selected signal and a previous detected signal, combines the weighted signals, and detects transmitted data from the combined signal, a signal reproducer reproduces a transmitted signal from the detected transmitted data, and a subtractor updates the received signals by subtracting the reproduced transmitted signal from the received signals and provides them to the MMSE receiver unit.
