Abstract
A method includes obtaining a first set of one or more parameters associated with a plurality of transmitters transmitting a plurality of intended streams and obtaining a second set of one or more parameters associated with an interference source. The first set of parameters includes a first MIMO mode associated with the plurality of transmitters and the second set of parameters includes a second MIMO mode associated with the interference source. The method also includes receiving a plurality of streams, including the plurality of intended streams and a plurality of interfering streams transmitted by the interference source, and selecting a pre-processing scheme based at least in part on the first MIMO mode and the second MIMO mode.
