Abstract

A method for receiving a plurality of communications from a respective plurality of transmitters using a common carrier frequency includes receiving a plurality of information signals on a common carrier frequency corresponding to the plurality of communications from the plurality of transmitters, and generating first and second separated signals corresponding to respective first and second ones of the information signals so that the first separated signal includes a primary component corresponding to the first information signal and so that the second separated signal includes a primary component corresponding to the second information signal. The first separated signal is demodulated to provide an estimate of a first information sequence corresponding to the first information signal, and the estimate of the first information sequence is modulated to provide a modulated estimate of the first information sequence. The modulated estimate of the first information sequence is subtracted from the second separated signal to provide an improved second separated signal. The improved second separated signal is demodulated to provide an estimate of a second information sequence correspondin…
