System and method for reducing rake finger processing

摘要

Systems and techniques are disclosed relating to reducing the number of fingers in a rake receiver used for rake finger processing in wireless networks. Determining E_before, captured energy of all fingers before increasing transmit power. Increasing transmit power by a delta transmit power. Determining E_after, captured energy of i fingers. Determining i fingers needed for processing, such that E_after is essentially greater than or equal to E_before.
