Polarization-Based Method for Mitigating Wireless Signal Interference Both During Transmission and Receipt	Improves mitigation of co-channel interference: Particularly useful for OFDM-based systems, this method improves mitigation of co-channel interference in the frequency domain. By optimizing the SINR as a function of the frequency component, this method provides improved suppression performance relative to single polarization-filter solutions. Maximizes SINR: A set of frequency-dependent MMSE filter weights can be applied to suppress interference, which maximizes the SINR. Flexible: This method can be applied to OFDM, CDMA systems, and various other communication systems having different modulation formats that may or may not require additional processing.	4087
