SYSTEMS, APPARATUS, AND METHODS FOR RECEIVING PAGING MESSAGES BY CREATING FAT PATHS IN FAST FADING SCENARIOS

摘要

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus for receiving paging messages in fast fading scenarios. In one aspect, a method of demodulating a paging message during an assigned time slot by a wireless communications apparatus operating in an idle mode is provided. The method includes determining, in anticipation of the assigned time slot, an expected time position corresponding to a path of a pilot signal having a greater signal strength relative to other pilot signals. The method further includes assigning a first demodulation element to demodulate the pilot signal with reference to the expected time position and assigning a second demodulation element to demodulate the pilot signal with reference to a time offset from the expected time position. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

1. A method of demodulating a paging message during an assigned time slot by a wireless communications apparatus operating in an idle mode, the method comprising:
determining, in anticipation of the assigned time slot, an expected time position corresponding to a path of a pilot signal having a greater signal strength relative to other pilot signals; assigning a first demodulation element of a rake receiver to demodulate the pilot signal with reference to the expected time position; assigning a second demodulation element of the rake receiver to demodulate the pilot signal with reference to a time offset from the expected time position; and demodulating a signal to detect the paging message based at least in part on successfully demodulating the pilot signal using at least the first demodulation element or the second demodulation element.
