Abstract: A wireless communication network (10). The network comprises a wireless receiver (14). The receiver comprises at least one antenna (AT14) for receiving a plurality of frames in a form of a plurality of paths. Each of the plurality of frames is modulated by a plurality of chips, and chip in the plurality of chips has a like chip duration. The receiver further comprises a plurality of path resources (F1, F2), and this plurality of path resources comprises a first path resource (F1) configured to receive a first plurality of symbols from a first path in the plurality of paths and a second path resource (F2) configured to receive a second plurality of symbols from a second path in the plurality of paths. The plurality of path resources also comprises circuitry for sampling the second path at a time less than the chip duration from a time when the circuitry for sampling samples the first path.
