A RECEPTION METHOD AND A RECEIVER

摘要

The invention relates to a reception method and a receiver for receiving a signal of a desired user, which signal may arrive at the receiver along several different paths (112, 114, 116) with several different delays, and which receiver comprises an antenna array (500, 700-704) consisting of several elements, one or more channel units (504-508, 738-742) comprising at least one means (620, 804) for demodulating the desired received signal component. In order to achieve great spectral efficiency, in the base station according to the invention the channel unit (504-508, 738-742) comprises means (604, 732, 802) for searching for the incoming directions and delays of the received signal components, and means (604, 732, 802) for indicating the parameters of the best components to the demodulation means (600, 602, 804-808).
