Abstract: A method of setting a Radiofrequency, RF, signal level in a RF receiver comprising: estimating an error of the signal level due to signal level reaching a condition of jamming or clipping by correlating the signal level with a point of a characterization curve of jamming condition or with a point of a characterization curve of clipping condition (300), respectively; correcting the RF signal level based on the error; and, wherein: each of the characterization curves comprises a plurality of points comprising first points determined in a previously performed characterization at a point of measurement and groups of second points stepped between pairs of adjacent first points, said plurality of first points including at least three points defining at least two sections of the characterization curve.

Abstract: Multipath components of transmitted data symbols are received with individual delays and processed by a RAKE having a number of fingers. A delay profile indicating magnitudes for a first number of delay values is provided. Estimated magnitudes for a second number of delay values located between the first number of delay values are calculated by interpolation, and a combined delay profile is provided by combining the magnitudes for the first and second number of delay values. Delay values for peaks in the combined delay profile are determined, and a number of peak delay values (P1, P2, P) comprising the largest peak are selected from the combined delay profile. At least some of the selected peak delay values are provided to the RAKE and assigned to the fingers. This allows a reduction of current consumption and dye area, while still providing delay values with sufficient resolution for the RAKE.

Abstract: In third generation mobile communications networks, e.g. CDMA systems, a mobile station intending to access a base station transmits a request for access to a base station and waits for a response in the form of an indicator signal. Both detecting a signal as an acknowledgement message without one being sent from the base station and failing to detect such an acknowledgement message can give rise to noise and interference in the whole cell. The invention provides a method and a user equipment for determining the received signal strength in an access slot in a downlink channel and for asserting whether detection of an indicator signal from the base station in the access slot in the downlink channel is reliable. Hereby, a more secure reception of indicator signals can be obtained, which leads to reduced interference and noise in the whole cell.
