Interference cancellation in a receive diversity system

A method, comprising:

• providing for receiving a signal with a first receiver chain;
• providing for substantially canceling one or more interferers from the signal;
• providing for selecting either a second receiver chain or a combination of the first receiver chain and the second receiver chain to receive the signal based on a signal parameter.

A receiver, comprising:

• a plurality of receiver chains, wherein each receiver chain is configured for receiving a radio signal when directed by a controller and wherein each receiver chain comprises an analog to digital converter configured for converting a received radio signal to a digital signal;
• and
• a processing engine communicatively coupled to each receiver chain and configured for substantially canceling one or more interfering signals from the digital signal of at least one receiver chain to generate an interference-canceled signal.

A receive-diversity system, comprising:

• a plurality of receiver chains, wherein at least one receiver chain comprises a processing engine configured for substantially canceling one or more interferers from at least one radio signal received by said at least one receiver chain;
• and
• a controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of receiver chains and configured for selecting one or more of the plurality of receiver chains to process the at least one radio signal.
