Abstract

We present a hybrid approach for separate cochannel interference (CCI) reduction and intersymbol interference (ISI) equalization in a slow Rayleigh fading channel. In this hybrid approach, a space-time filter is designed to maximize signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) by jointly optimizing the weight vector and the modified channel vector. A Viterbi equalizer then follows to equalize ISI and demodulate data symbols without noise enhancement. We derive an eigenvector solution for the joint optimization of the weight vector and the modified channel vector. Simulation results show good performance even at low carrier-to-interference-ratio (CIR).
