TLDR
For the downlink, a low complexity signal enhancing receiver that will work with a single receive antenna is developed that offers significant gains at high interfering signal powers especially when the channel memory is low.
Abstract
The capacity of TDMA digital cellular systems like IS-136, GSM and their evolution IS-136HS and EDGE is limited by the intersymbol interference (ISI) arising from multipath propagation and co-channel interference (CCI) due to frequency reuse. The focus of this work is to develop for the downlink, a low complexity signal enhancing receiver that will work with a single receive antenna. This paper proposes a technique to combat both ISI and CCI using tentative decisions obtained through a preliminary detector. These decisions are used in mitigating ISI and CCI to produce final decisions. It is shown that the receiver proposed offers significant gains at high interfering signal powers especially when the channel memory is low.

Multiuser detection for wireless communications systems in the presence of Interference

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a system and method for detecting transmissions from multiple users in a digital wireless communications system in the presence of interference, which comprises derotating a received signal by a specified amount, determining channel estimates, which can include the determination of the number of users (interferers plus a desired user), and extracting information transmitted by the desired user from the received signal.

Adaptive cancellation of intersymbol interference for data transmission

TL;DR: In this paper, a technique for detecting transmitted data symbols contained in a modulated signal that has been degraded by a linear dispersive channel and additive Gaussian noise is proposed. But the cancellation approach, unlike equalization, offers the possibility of removing interference without enhancing the level of noise already present in the received waveform.
