Adaptive successive interference cancellation receivers

A system comprising:

• a first receiver module configured to
• receive a first signal including a first set of codewords, and
• generate a first set of decoded codewords by decoding one or more codewords of the first set of codewords;
• a first interference canceller module configured to
• measure first reliability metrics of codewords corresponding to the first set of decoded codewords, and
• select a second set of decoded codewords from the first set of decoded codewords based on the first reliability metrics;
• an encoder module configured to generate an encoded signal by encoding the second set of decoded codewords;
• a modulator module configured to generate a second signal by modulating the encoded signal;
• and
• a subtractor module configured to subtract a portion of the second signal from the first signal to cancel interference of first codewords corresponding to the second set of decoded codewords on codewords other than the first codewords in the first set of codewords in the first signal.
