Interference rejection in digital wireless communications

The growth in wireless communications necessitates more efficient utilization of spectrum. The increased sharing of spectrum translates into a higher likelihood of users interfering with one another. Interference rejection techniques allow a high capacity of users within the available spectrum. This overview comprises a literature review of published papers pertaining to single-channel adaptive interference rejection in digital wireless dating primarily from 1980 to the present. Though previous overviews are referenced and summarized, the focus is on advances not covered by previous overviews (consequently, some papers are included that predate 1980 because they are not covered in previous overviews). An organizational chart (divided into spread spectrum and nonspread spectrum techniques) is shown which outlines the types of techniques covered. Interference rejection is important for several reasons. Cellular capacity is inherently interference limited, particularly by co-channel interference (CCI) and adjacent-channel interference (ACI). One solution to combat CCI and ACI is to split cells and decrease the power, but cell-splitting is expensive. Interference-rejection techniques often represent a less expensive alternative to cell-splitting. In addition, as newer communication technologies supersede older technologies, interference-rejection techniques are important in helping to facilitate compatibility during transitions between the old and new technologies.
