Apparatus for classifying a ray is disclosed, wherein the ray is received at a code division multiple access receiver. The apparatus comprises: means for receiving a neighbouring cell list comprising at least information concerning scrambling codes used by, and timing information concerning at least one neighbouring cell; means for selecting a cell from the neighbouring cell list, the cell having associated therewith one or more scrambling codes; means for determining whether the number of cells in the neighbouring cell list exceeds a threshold; means responsive to a positive determination for attempting to classify the ray to the selected cell without utilising means for mixing a received signal with a scrambling code; and means responsive to a negative determination for mixing a received signal with a scrambling code used by the selected cell to provide a mixed signal, and for examining the mixed signal to determine if the ray originates from the cell.

A method of classifying a ray is disclosed, the ray being received at a code division multiple access receiver. The method comprises: determining if a timing characteristic of the ray falls within a predetermined range of a timing characteristic of a ray classified to a given cell; in response to a positive determination, mixing a received signal with a scrambling code used by the given cell to provide a mixed signal; and examining the mixed signal to determine if the ray originates from the given cell.
摘要:
A signal receiver is configured for receiving signals from multiple antennas, wherein the signal from one of the antennas is phase compensated relative to the signal from another of the antennas. The receiver comprises (i) an equalizer configured to equalize signals received from the antennas in accordance with a determined equalization vector and (ii) a processor for determining the equalization vector. The processor is configured to determine the equalization vector in dependence on (i) a first channel estimate for a first channel from one of the antennas to the receiver and (ii) a phase-adjusted version of a second channel estimate for a second channel from another of the antennas to the receiver.

摘要:
A controller for a communications device, comprising: a receiver arranged for receiving a first data block and a second data block, each data block comprising a plurality of analogue signals; a digitizer arranged for converting each analogue signal into a digital value and marking each digital value as saturated when the digital value exceeds a digital range; and a processor arranged for modifying at least one digital value of the first block by combination with a corresponding digital value of the second block except where the digital value of the first block is marked as saturated and marking each modified value as saturated when the modified value is outside a defined range.
