Abstract: A system for detecting and identifying the identity of a base station or cell which transmits a scrambling code is provided. According to one aspect of the system, the system is used to perform scrambling code detection of eight (8) primary cells (each scrambling code's X-component being spaced sixteen (16) chips apart) in a group. According to another aspect of the system, a single scrambling code generator is used to generate a master scrambling code. The master scrambling code is then used to create individual scrambling codes which are used in correlation with received signals to detect in parallel which one of the eight (8) possible primary cells in the group transmitted the received signals.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a new category of integrated circuitry and a new methodology for adaptive or reconfigurable computing. The exemplary IC embodiment includes a plurality of heterogeneous computational elements coupled to an interconnection network. The plurality of heterogeneous computational elements include corresponding computational elements having fixed and differing architectures, such as fixed architectures for different functions such as memory, addition, multiplication, complex multiplication, subtraction, configuration, reconfiguration, control, input, output, and field programmability. In response to configuration information, the interconnection network is operative in real-time to configure and reconfigure the plurality of heterogeneous computational elements for a plurality of different functional modes, including linear algorithmic operations, non-linear algorithmic operations, finite state machine operations, memory operations, and bit-level manipulations.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a new type of rake receiver, namely, a multimode rake receiver, which may be included within either a mobile station or a base station, and which has dynamic pilot signal searching and multipath reception and combining capability, for CDMA, cdma2000, W-CDMA, or other mobile communication systems. The adaptive, multimode rake receiver includes a network interface, a plurality of adaptive multimode rake fingers, and a multimode processor. Each adaptive multimode rake finger and the multimode processor are responsive to first configuration information (a first mode signal) to configure for a path reception functional mode and are further responsive to second configuration information (a second mode signal) to configure for a searcher functional mode, providing the multimode rake receiver with acquisition, traffic, and idle modes.
