Isn't this what CDMA already does using RAKE receivers (different fingers
track multiple signals, so it uses multipath as a feature rather than a
problem).  Presumably, with rather more signal processing than is simply used
to improve signal quality, it'd be possible to use the capability to track
interfering objects.
