description A multiple-antenna-multiple-equalizer (MAME) system is proposed for overcoming cochannel interference (CCI) in code-division multiple access (CDMA) indoor wireless systems. The main advantage of the MAME system is the enhanced interference suppression capability as compared with many existing approaches.
