Abstract
The invention relates to a communication system (300) having a receiver (304) that is capable of performing targeted interference suppression. An interference classifier (314) within the receiver (304) analyzes a signal received from a channel (306) and identifies and classifies interference components within the signal. An interference suppressor (316) then suppresses the interference components in the signal based on interference type. The interference suppressor (316) includes a plurality of interference suppression modules that are each optimal for suppressing certain interference types. In one embodiment, one or more of the interference suppression modules perform interference suppression using modal moment estimates to identify different modes within the signal.
