摘要： A smart antenna (figure 2) i.e., blind adaptive antenna array, is a method and system to suppress multiple access interference and to improve performance, for example in a code division multiple access (CDMA) wireless communications system, including third generation (3g) cdma2000 and wide band (W)-CDMA. A convergence parameter is employed in a smart antenna processor (207). In general, a constant convergence parameter value is empirically determined and used after studying the convergence speed and the steady state mean square error (MSE) or other performance data, such as bit error rate. As the convergence parameter would yield poor performance when the channel environment changes, which is true particularly when a mobile user moves around. In the present invention, the convergence parameter value is adaptively changed and employed in a smart antenna processor (207). Two exemplary methods to update the convergence parameter are described. By employing such an adaptive convergence parameter value, convergence speed can be increased and the steady state MSE can be decreased.
