PROCESS FOR ASSIGNING A FINGER OF A RAKE RECEIVER IN IDLE MODE, AND APPARATUS FOR CARRYING OUT THE PROCESS

摘要

Process of a finger assignment in a rake receiver for a wireless communication device comprising the following steps:—detection (21) of a pilot (CPICH) and the comparison of its energy according to a first threshold value;—detection (22), on the basis of said first threshold value, of a first significant path;—assignment (23) of said first significant path to a first finger of the rake receiver;—determination (24) of an observation window;—application (25) of a second threshold value, distinct and lower than said first value, for the detection of secondary paths;—rake fingers assignment to secondary paths detected.
