Interference mitigation in a communication system

Abstract

A receiver has an input for an incoming signal, the incoming signal possibly having a wanted signal and one or more interference signals. The receiver further has a signal source for providing a predetermined signal that is substantially identical to at least a portion of at least one interference signal of the one or more interference signals. The receiver also has a signal analyzer for analyzing the incoming signal regarding at least one known signal component of at least one of the one or more interference signals to obtain at least one interference signal parameter. A cancellation signal generator generates a cancellation signal on the basis of the at least one interference signal parameter. The receiver further has an interference canceller for at least partially cancelling the at least one interference signal by applying the cancellation signal to the incoming signal. A corresponding transmitter and a method for interference cancellation are also disclosed.
