Disclosed are a method, information processing system and wireless
communications device for suppressing interference. The method includes
receiving a transmission from each of a target (104) and interfering
device (106). A set of pilot sequences (604) for an interfering device
(106) and the target device (104) are determined. A channel estimate
(608) for the target device (104) and the interfering device (106) is
determined. A set of combining weights (610) associated with each pilot
sequence for the interfering device (106) is determined as a function of
the determined channel estimates (608) of the target device (104) and the
interfering device (106). At least one pilot symbol estimate (612) for
each pilot sequence in the set of pilot sequences for the interfering
device is determined as a function of the received transmission and the
determined set of combining weights (610).
