Co-channel interference cancelling receiver for TDMA mobile systems

A method for co-channel interference cancellation in TDMA mobile systems exploiting the characteristics of mobile channels is proposed. The independently fading multipath channels provide a distinct waveform coding on each of the co-channel signals, which is a basis for signal separation in receivers. This enables the use of joint detection methods in receivers provided that accurate channel estimates can be obtained for all the cochannels. A joint detection and channel estimation algorithm for multiple co-channel signals are derived. The performance of the receiver is verified by simulations with the GSM system assuming that the strongest interferer is cancelled.
