SUCCESSIVE SIGNAL INTERFERENCE MITIGATION

A radar sensing system for a vehicle includes a transmitter, a receiver, and an interference mitigation processor. The transmitter transmits radio signals. The receiver receives radio signals. The received radio signals include reflected radio signals that are each transmitted radio signals reflected from objects in the environment. The receiver also down-converts and digitizes the received radio signals to produce a baseband sampled stream. The interference mitigation processor produces a second received radio signal that includes reflected radio signals that are transmitted radio signals reflected from a first object. The interference mitigation processor uses the second received radio signal to remove selected samples from the baseband sampled stream that are attributed to radio signals reflected from the first object to produce a modified baseband sampled stream. The receiver uses the modified baseband sampled stream to detect a second object more distant than the first object.

Real-time selection of interference cancellation schemes based on transmission parameters and amount of resource overlap between the desired payload and the interfering payload. Codeword level interference cancellation may be performed where the signal quality of the interfering signal indicates that the interfering payload will be decoded correctly. When performed, codeword level interference cancellation may be monitored to determine if decoding the interfering payload is converging. Other interference cancellation schemes may be selected based on the signal quality of the interfering signal or non-converging decode of the interfering payload. The number of iterations for iterative decoding in codeword level interference cancellation may be dynamically selected. The decoder output (e.g., soft bits) may be used to perform interference cancellations before the decoder is fully converged. Iterative decoding may be performed in multiple passes and soft decision output form one pass may be used to initialize the decoder for a subsequent pass.

Method and apparatus for a multi-user spatial multiplexing decoder

Spatial Multiplexing (SM) with Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) is used in many wireless communication systems for providing high data rate in a given channel bandwidth. When SM-MIMO is used for sharing the same resources for multiple users (MU-SM), the control information describing the parameters of MU-SM need to be sent separately to all the users that may be sharing the same resources. The base station in a wireless communication system may only provide the parameters required by each specific client terminal for decoding the data addressed to it. A method and apparatus are disclosed that enable improved decoding of MU-SM signals in scenarios where information about the parameters of other transmissions on the same resources or absence of any transmission other than the one intended for the subject client terminal is not available.
