Successive interference cancellation (sic) ordering algorithms for improved multiple-input multiple-output (mimo) performance

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• receiving at least first and second streams of data;
• attempting to decode at least a first code block of the first stream;
• and
• if the first code block of the first stream decodes successfully, selecting the first stream to decode first and performing interference cancelation using results of decoding the first stream to decode the second stream.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for receiving at least two streams of data;
• means for selecting at least one of the received streams to decode first, from a comparison of a metric corresponding to at least two of the streams, the metric based on a gap between a measured value of a parameter and an allocated value of the parameter;
• and
• means for performing interference cancelation using results of decoding the selected at least one stream to decode at least one non-selected stream.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to:
• receive at least two streams of data;
• select at least one of the received streams to decode first, from a comparison of a metric corresponding to at least two of the streams, the metric based on a gap between a measured value of a parameter and an allocated value of the parameter;
• and
• perform interference cancelation using results of decoding the selected at least one stream to decode at least one non-selected stream;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor.

A computer program product for wireless communication, comprising:

• a computer-readable comprising instructions for:
• receiving at least two streams of data;
• selecting at least one of the received streams to decode first, from a comparison of a metric corresponding to at least two of the streams, the metric based on a gap between a measured value of a parameter and an allocated value of the parameter;
• and
• performing interference cancelation using results of decoding the selected at least one stream to decode at least one non-selected stream.
