Abstract

In some embodiments, a method for mitigating interference in a channel having multiple users can include: determining a starting angle based on a direction of a signal of interest (SOI); iteratively steering a beam away from the starting angle in opposite directions and calculating a grade of the beam; choosing the beam at a current angle as a receive beam based on the beam grade; receiving a signal using the receive beam; and decoding the SOI from one or more interfering signals using successive interference cancellation multi-user detection (SIC MUD) on the received signal.
