| In this thesis, we propose a fully asynchronous iterative receiver for co-channel interference (CCI) suppression. We consider the downlink of a cellular system as our model, where signals from neighboring base stations cause the interference. To handle asynchronously received code words, our receiver suppresses the CCI over frames spanning several code words. The BER performance results show that the asynchronous system suffers only a minor penalty compared to its fully synchronous counterpart. Cellular system simulation results show that our receiver can effectively reduce the co-channel interference (CCI), thereby improving the system performance in terms of throughput and outage probability. |
