Advanced downlink receivers for GERAN

This article proposes several types of interference cancellation for the downlink connection in the GSM mobile communications system. The solutions are in the class of dual antenna interference cancellation (DAIC) which utilize two antennas in the mobile station in order to improve the network performance in the link level. The performance of the receivers introduced here are compared with the conventional and the single antenna interference cancellation (SAIC). The results show that the DAIC receivers bring about substantial reduction in the bit-error-rate (BER) in the downlink connection.
