Abstract

Aspects of a method and system for interference suppression using information from non-listened base stations are provided. In this regard, one or more circuits in a wireless communication device may be operable to receive a raw signal comprising one or more desired signals from one or more serving base transceiver stations (BTSs) and comprising one or more undesired signals from one or more non-listened BTSs. The one or more circuits may be operable to generate first estimate signals that estimate the one or more undesired signals as transmitted by the one or more non-listened BTSs, generate an interference suppressed version of the raw signal based on the first estimate signals, and recover the one or more desired signals from the interference suppressed version of the raw signal. The non-listened BTSs may comprise one or more BTSs that are not serving the wireless communication device and are not involved in a handoff of the wireless communication device.
