Abstract:
Suppression of co-channel interferers in a TDMA cellular phone system by the use of an antenna array is studied. In particular, the problem of suppressing co-channel interferers that appear outside the training sequence is addressed.

It is observed that if a co-channel interferer is present during the data sequence but not during the training sequence of a frame, then it will be present during the training sequence of an adjacent frame. The interferer plus noise spectrum of adjacent frames is utilized in order to suppress such co-channel interferers.

The effect on the performance is illustrated with an example scenario for the GSM system.
