Abstract

The present invention provides systems and methods for interference matrix construction. Such an interference matrix may be used to generate a cancellation operator that when applied to a signal may substantially remove selected interfering signals. In one embodiment of the invention, a system comprises an interference selector configured for selecting one or more interferers for interference cancellation. The system also comprises a matrix generator communicatively coupled to the interference selector and configured for receiving selected interferers from the interference selector. The matrix generator is also configured for generating a matrix having one or more vectors, wherein each vector comprises elements of at least one of the selected interferers. Such an interference matrix and the subsequent generation of the cancellation operator may advantageously provide interference cancellation to systems employing CDMA (e.g., such as cdmaOne and cdma2000), WCDMA, Broadband CDMA, UMTS and GPS signals.
