Dynamic finger allocation for rake receiver

摘要

There is disclosed a method of de-spreading signals in a spread-spectrum communication system, comprising: providing a bank of rake fingers; and dynamically allocating at least one of the bank of rake fingers to de-spread a received signal. The number of rake fingers dynamically allocated is determined by the number of multi-paths associated with the received signal. A plurality of signals are received in different channels, wherein at least one of the bank of rake fingers is allocated to de-spread each received signal. <IMAGE>
