Successive cancellation of adjacent channel signals in FDMA/TDMA digital mobile radio systems

Abstract

Capacity and signal quality can be improved in mobile radio systems by designing digital receivers with interference mitigation capability. In this paper, coherent MLSE receivers based on successive cancellation of adjacent channel interference in FDMA/TDMA mobile radio systems are developed. The proposed technique requires estimation of impulse response of the desired and adjacent channels, these are obtained via a novel approach employing pulse shaping information and band extrapolation. The receiver is simulated for the GSM digital cellular system under Rayleigh and Rician fading. The results show substantial improvements in bit error rate in interference limited environments.
