Adaptive array antenna and interference canceler in a mobile communications system
First Claim
1. A receiving method in a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA mobile communications system, comprising the steps of:
- controlling beam patterns and directions of an adaptive array antenna to coincide with a reception direction of a desired signal;
forming a beam in the reception direction of the desired signal;
eliminating an interference signal received at a different angle than the reception angle of the desired signal; and
eliminating multiple access interference signals included in signals received at the reception angle of the desired signal.

Abstract
A receiver in a mobile communications system is provided. The receiver includes an adaptive array antenna having a plurality of antenna elements for forming a beam in the direction of a desired signal. Each of the plurality of elements has an adaptive linear filter associated therewith. A real time adaptive receive processor controls beam patterns and directions of the plurality of antenna elements at a reception angle of the desired user. An interference canceller operatively connected to said adaptive array antenna detects a multi-user interference signal from the desired signal and cancels the multi-user signal.
