Abstract

An apparatus for performing collision resolution in a digital control channel which includes at least two antennas for receiving interfering signals, wherein each of the signals is associated with a network user, and a processor for processing the signals received by the antennas. The processor performs blind channel estimate calculations on the interfering signals to obtain channel information and to obtain a second signal. The second signal is selected for processing by a communication network.
