Abstract:
In a CDMA receiver for applying despread processing to direct wave or delayed waves that arrive via each path of multiple paths, applying synchronous detection processing to the despread signals obtained, combining the detection signals of respective paths and discriminating the received data on the basis of the combined signal, (1) a weighting unit provided for every path measures power of delayed received waves that arrive via its own path and, if the reception power is less than a set level (breakpoint level), subjects an output signal to weighting conforming to the reception power; (2) a RAKE combiner combines signals output from the weighting units of the respective paths; and (3) a data discrimination unit discriminates receive data based upon the output signal of the combiner.

Abstract:
On the basis of a spreading factor obtained by despreading a control channel of received data by a control channel despreading unit, a spreading factor determination unit determines a transmission rate of the received data. User data subjected to despreading processing at a user data despreading unit is demodulated by a demodulator and temporarily stored in a demodulated data memory. The user data read from the demodulated data memory is decoded by a decoder, whereas the result of decoding by the decoder is supplied to a delay measurement unit, where a delay time relative to the above processing, of the user data is detected. A channel resource management unit manages the number of available resources at all times or in a constant cycle on the basis of transmission rates of respective radio channels detected by the spreading factor determination unit and delay processing times of the respective radio channels detected by the delay measurement unit.

Abstract:
A Node-B/base station receiver comprises at least one antenna for receiving signals. Each finger of a pool of reconfigurable Rake fingers recovers a multipath component of a user and is assigned a code of the user, a code phase of the multipath component and an antenna of the at least one antenna. An antenna/Rake finger pool interface provides each finger of the Rake pool an output of the antenna assigned to that Rake finger. A combiner combines the recovered multipath components for a user to produce data of the user.
Abstract:
A GPS receiver having channel clusters each having a memory-enhanced channel and several standard tracking channels. The memory-enhanced channel includes a signal memory for accumulating carrier frequency leveled signal samples over several epochs into supersamples for an epoch. During an acquisition mode the memory-enhanced channel borrows code correlators from the tracking channels and the carrier clock to the tracking channels is disabled. The supersamples are accumulated in the signal memory in realtime and then played back by the code correlators at a faster rate while the signal memory is accumulating a new set of supersamples. During a tracking mode, the signal memory is bypassed, the borrowed code correlators are returned and the carrier clock is enabled to the tracking channels.

C is a measure of channel-estimation capacity of the RAKE receiver. M is greater than C.
