Advanced multi-user detector
First Claim
1. A method of detecting multi-user signals, the method comprising:
- detecting a first energy burst including a first plurality of user signals;
attempting to decode a first user signal from the first energy burst;
in accordance with a determination that the first user signal is decoded from the first energy burst, cancelling out the first user signal from the first energy burst;
attempting to decode a second user signal from the first energy burst, wherein the second user signal is different from the first user signal;
in accordance with a determination that the second user signal is not decoded from the first energy burst, discarding the second user signal from the first energy burst;
detecting a second energy burst including a second plurality of user signals, wherein the second energy burst detection is conducted when all user signals within the first energy burst are either cancelled out or discarded; and
in accordance with a determination that the first user signal is decoded from the first energy burst, cancelling out the first user signal from the second energy burst.

Abstract
A method for detecting multi-user signals including conducting a first energy burst detection detecting a first plurality of user signals as a first energy burst, attempting to decode a user signal from the first plurality of signals within the first energy burst, cancelling out a first user signal from the first energy burst if the first user signal is successfully decoded from the first energy burst, determining a second user signal to be discarded if the second user signal is not successfully decoded from the first energy burst, conducting a second energy burst detection detecting a second plurality of signals as a second burst, and iteratively cancelling out the first user signal successfully decoded from the first energy burst from the second energy burst, wherein the second energy burst detection is conducted when all user signals within the first energy burst are either cancelled out or determined to be discarded.

3. A method of detecting multi-user signals, the method comprising:
-
detecting a first energy burst including a first plurality of user signals; detecting a second energy burst including a second plurality of user signals, wherein the second energy burst detection is conducted in accordance with predetermined statistical information corresponding to how often energy burst detections should be made; and cancelling out a first user signal decoded from the first energy burst from the second energy burst. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5)

6. An apparatus for detecting multi-user signals, the apparatus comprising:
-
a burst energy detector for detecting a plurality of user signals as an energy burst; a channel estimator for estimating an amount of Doppler shift and Doppler rate; a decoder for attempting to decode a user signal from the energy burst; and an interference canceller for cancelling out a decoded user signal from the energy burst, wherein, after the decoded user signal is cancelled out, the interference canceller determines whether to direct the energy burst to the decoder or the burst energy detector. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)
