Interference cancellation in a receive diversity system
First Claim
1. A receive-diversity system, comprising:
- a plurality of receiver chains;
a controller communicatively coupled to the receiver chains and configured for selecting one or more of the receiver chains to process a received signal; and
a processing engine communicatively coupled to the receiver chains and configured for substantially canceling one or more interferers from the received signal.

Abstract
Systems and methods for employing substantial interference cancellation with a receive-diversity system are presented. A Coded Signal Processing Engine (“CSPE”) is communicatively coupled to each receiver chain of a receive-diversity system and is configured for substantially canceling one or more interfering signals from a digital baseband signal of one or more of the receiver chains. For example, either one receiver chain or a combination of receiver chains may be activated by the controller to process a signal. The CSPE may cancel interfering signals from the digital baseband signals of the activated receiver chains to generate one or more interference-canceled signals for each activated receiver chain. The interference-canceled signals may then be processed by processing fingers of the receiver chains and a controller may determine the number of receiver chains to keep active based on a signal parameter of the processed signal.
