Impulse response shortening for multiple co-channels

In this paper, a novel design of a receiver-side FIR prefilter is proposed which is able to jointly shorten the impulse responses of multiple co-channels given just one receive antenna. The prefilter coefficients are computed without explicitly solving an eigenvalue problem. In conjunction with a reduced-complexity multiuser detector, a good error performance can be achieved. As a possible application, co-channel interference cancellation for the EDGE system is studied. The prefilter, however, is also suitable for interference suppression in MIMO systems, for crosstalk suppression, or for reducing the length of the cyclic prefix in multitone systems, among other applications.
