Abstract: The present invention is a user equipment (UE), including a receiver and method for receiving one of a plurality of channels in a communication signal. An adaptive matched filter produces a filtered signal by using a weighting signal. A rake receiver produces a filter weighting signal using a pseudo-noise signal generator. A channel despreader despreads the filtered signal using the pseudo-noise signal generated to produce a despread channel signal of the selected channel. A pilot channel despreader despreads the filtered signal using a pseudo-noise signal generator to produce a despread pilot signal of the pilot channel. A hard decision processor receives the despread channel signal of the selected channel and produces a correction signal. A phase-locked loop utilizes at least the despread pilot signal and produces a phase correction signal which is applied to produce phase-corrected channel signals.

Abstract: Symbols are to be recovered from signals received in a shared spectrum. Codes of the signals received in the shared spectrum are processed using a block Fourier transform (FT), producing a code block diagonal matrix. A channel response of the received signals is estimated. The channel response is extended and modified to produce a block circulant matrix and a block FT is taken, producing a channel response block diagonal matrix. The code block diagonal matrix is combined with the channel response block diagonal matrix. The received signals are sampled and processed using the combined code block diagonal matrix and the channel response block diagonal matrix with a Cholesky algorithm. A block inverse FT is performed on a result of the Cholesky algorithm to produce spread symbols. The spread symbols are despread to recover symbols of the received signals.
