a baseband receiver comprising an upstream baseband processor and a downstream baseband processor;
an interference suppressor coupled between the upstream baseband processor and the downstream baseband processor;
wherein at least one of the channel decomposition module, the baseband receiver, and the interference suppressor is configurable for processing multi-mode signals;
an interference selector coupled to the downstream baseband processor and configured for selecting subchannels that are likely to contribute interference to at least one signal of interest, for producing at least one selected interference symbol;
a synthesizer configured to synthesize a synthesized interference signal from the at least one selected interference symbol; and
a channel emulator configured to produce an estimated interference signal from the synthesized interference signal.

Abstract
A multi-mode receiver includes a channel decomposition module (e.g., a Rake receiver) for separating a received signal into multipath components, an interference selector for selecting interfering paths and subchannels, a synthesizer for synthesizing interference signals from selected sub channel symbol estimates, and an interference canceller for cancelling selected interference in the received signal. At least one of the channel decomposition module, the synthesizer, and the interference canceller are configurable for processing multi-mode signals.
