Various exemplary embodiments relate to a method for improving reception of transmissions with first adjacent interference signals, the method including selecting one or more time samples from each of two or more antennas; generating a lower first adjacent interference (LFAI) signal, a desired signal, and an upper first adjacent interference (UFAI) signal for each of the time samples; calculating a lower weighting co-efficient based on the LFAI signal; calculating a middle weighting co-efficient based on the desired signal; calculating a upper weighting co-efficient based on the UFAI signal; combining the lower weighting co-efficient with a filtered LFAI signal into a weighted lower signal; combining the middle weighting co-efficient with a filtered desired signal into a weighted middle signal; combining the upper weighting co-efficient with a filtered UFAI signal into a weighted upper signal; and combining the weighted lower signal, the weighted middle signal, and the weighted upper signal.
