TDMA cellular network application of an interference cancellation technique

This paper studies the deployment of a co-channel interference cancellation technique in narrowband TDMA cellular networks. Particularly the case in which the strongest co-channel interferer is canceled in the receiver is investigated by network simulations. The potential gain can either be realized as higher system capacity or lower network outage rate. The receiver algorithm for interference cancellation is presented and its performance is simulated for the use of the capacity simulations. The capacity gain is shown in comparison with the network without interference cancellation.
