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. In one embodiment, the interference suppressor (316) includes a plurality of interference suppression modules that are each optimal for suppressing certain interference types. The interference suppressor (316) selects one of the interference suppression modules based on the type of interference present in the received signal. In another embodiment, a hybrid interference mitigation system (10) is provided by combining targeted interference suppression, frequency hopping adaptation, and processing gain adaptation.
