In a Wireless Location System, reception and demodulation of signals is often performed at many sites. A collision may occur, e.g., in a TDMA, AMPS, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, CDMA, CDMA 2000, or WCDMA system, when a signal of interest (a transmission from a mobile transmitter to be located) and an interfering signal are received at the same time and at the same site. In the event such a collision occurs, the interfering signal may have been demodulated by a receiver system, or SCS, at another site, and the demodulated data be known by the TLP. This interferer can be reconstructed and subtracted from the raw data representing the combined signal of interest and interferer at the site where the collision occurred. This technique can provide significant (e.g., approximately 10 - 15 dB) interference rejection, with little degradation to the signal of interest. |
