Abstract

This invention discloses an interference cancellation method based on smart antenna, which can solve various interference in mobile communication systems such as multipath propagation, etc., while using smart antenna. The invention includes the steps of: with a beam forming matrix, beam forming the output signal of a receiver based on smart antenna, then getting a set of digital signals NRk(m); canceling other users main path signal included in NRk(m), then getting another set of digital signals NSk(m), which only includes needed signals and all interference signals; searching in digital signal NSk(m) and getting all multipath interference signals coming from other users; canceling other multipath interference signal in NSk(m); and superposing the user main path and each multipath signal in phase coincidence, then getting a digital signal with interference canceled.
