<p>A communication system receiver (60) sorts through potential Walsh indexes (112) and determines survivors for use in subsequent processing (66). The sort process (158) is implemented in parallel with the subsequent processing (66) so that large amounts of memory (142) to implement a store/sort are eliminated. The communication system receiver (60) implements the sorting operation (158) in a small number of cycles (155), thereby conserving cycles (155) which could be beneficially utilized for other tasks as required. The sorting operation (158) also lends itself well to a practical implementation from a communication system receiver (60) design perspective.</p> |
