1. A method of interference cancellation in a multiple access communication channel comprising:

  • receiving a signal including at least a first data component for a first channel within the multiple access communication channel and a second data component for a second channel within the multiple access communication channel on the communication channel;

    determining a characteristic of one stage of the multiple access communication channel;

    estimating an interference factor caused by the second data component received on the multiple access communication channel based upon an approximation of the characteristic and comprises applying a function to the characteristic and wherein the function comprises a piece-wise linear estimation of a hyperbolic tangent;

    using the interference factor to cancel the second data component from the signal; and

    recovering the first data component from the signal.
