System and method for selecting a transmission channel in a wireless communication system that includes an adaptive array
First Claim
1. A wireless communication system comprising:
- a receiver having an adaptive array, the adaptive array having at least two antennas to receive a signal and produce at least two received signals;
a transmitter having at least two transmission channels for communicating the signal from the transmitter to the receiver;
means for suppressing interference at the receiver by applying an interference suppression technique when combining said at least two received signals; and
means for selecting a channel at the transmitter based on channel performance at the receiver for each of said at least two transmission channels, the channel performance based on a combining technique different from the interference suppression technique.

Abstract
A method for establishing wireless communication between a transmitter and a receiver in a wireless communication system. The receiver includes an adaptive array that has at least two antennas. Each antenna receives a signal and produces a received signal. The transmitter includes at least two transmission channels for communicating the signal from the transmitter to the receiver. The wireless communication system suppresses interference at the receiver by applying an interference suppression technique when combining the received signals. The selection of a channel at the transmitter is based on the channel performance at the receiver for each transmission channel. The channel performance is based on a combining technique different from the interference suppression technique.
