Reception apparatus, path detection apparatus, method thereof, and program used in base station

摘要

A reception apparatus used by a base station in a wireless communication system such as a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system includes a path detection unit (18) performing path detection on a selected user equipment. A deriving unit (14) uses the detected path timing to despread incoming signals from said selected user equipment and deriving one or more multipath components. Also included is a providing unit (15) for Rake-combining said one or more multipath components to provide a demodulation signal. A scheduling unit (17) select one or more user equipments at predetermined intervals according to one or more judgment criteria and reports to the path detection unit (18). The one or more judgment criteria include criteria for selecting the user equipment with the demodulation signal which has a higher fading frequency.
