First Claim
Patent Images
1. A receiver for signal processing, comprising:
- a front-end processor for receiving a signal;
a searcher coupled to the front-end processor for detecting one or more signal paths in the signal;
a selection module for selecting at least one of the one or more signal paths for assignment to a symbol estimator and selecting at least one of a plurality of available sectors for use in interference cancellation or equalization;
a symbol estimator coupled to the selection module for generating one or more symbol estimates from the at least one of the one or more signal paths; and
a receiver module communicatively coupled to the symbol estimator for generating a substantially interference cancelled signal.

Abstract
A controller for advanced receivers configures a plurality of advanced receiver modules based on figures of merit computed on the input signal. The controller also selects the appropriate output signal based on figures of merit of either the input or the output signals. The controller decisions can also be made in a bursty manner, where only a subset of the decisions to be made are made at a given time, thereby limiting the processing load of the control processor.
