What is parallel interference cancellation?

The parallel interference cancellation (PIC) principle is a conceptually simple and yet effective method of parameter estimation and data detection in the presence of multiple-access and multipath interference.

How does successive interference cancellation work?

Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) is a technique used by a receiver in a wireless data transmission that allows decoding of two or more packets that arrived simultaneously (in a regular system, more packets arriving at the same time cause a collision).
