Abstract
A method and system of symbol measurement and combining (SMaC) provides near-optimal performance for each user independently by relying on rapid digital beamforming with near-ideal convergence properties. This approach is also provides near-ideal performance without any knowledge of user/jammer location and adapts instantly as those locations change. An iterative joint estimation method is used to determine a covariance matrix RXX, and a user beamsteering vector, α.
