Patent attributes
A WAP for wireless communications on a selected orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) communication channel of a wireless local area network (WLAN). The transceiver includes: antennas, transmit and receive chain components, a stream separation control circuit, and an Inter Carrier Interference (ICI) removal circuit. The receive chain components include: an equalizer component converting a received uplink communication packet from one or more of the associated stations at an input into discrete communication streams at an output thereof. The stream separation control circuit couples to the equalizer component to control the separation of the communication streams at the output of the equalizer component into groups, with each group comprising all of the communication streams transmitted by a corresponding one of the one or more associated stations. The ICI removal circuit couples to the stream separation control circuit to discretely remove ICI from each group of streams.
