Abstract: A method and arrangement for use in a single user detector in a CDMA multi-path system, comprising providing a finite impulse response (FIR) filter; and configuring the FIR filter to derive at least a first, then a second, then a third, then a fourth of the following parameters for single user detection: R (auto-correlation) function; L (Cholesky decomposition) value; X value representative of the complex conjugate of a channel impulse response multiplied and summed with time shifted versions of a received signal; back substitution value Y (function of R, X and L); and back substitution value S (function of R, X, Y and L).

Abstract: A method and arrangement for processing of CCTrCH data in a UMTS system, by: receiving CCTrCH data across a plurality of radio frames and timeslots (310); storing the received CCTrCH data (320); and upon receipt of complete data for a CCTrCH, processing the stored CCTrCH data through channel processing asynchronously to the received timeslot structure (360). Preferably, the received CCTrCH data is stored in a single RAM memory in link-list form, whereby each timeslot of received CCTrCH data can be independently accessed in the memory. This method of buffering the different parts of the received CCTrCH data, so that they can be recombined before the TrCH decoding and de-multiplexing, is both memory efficient and spreads out the processing load over time.

Abstract: A chip rate invariant detector (FIG. 2) is used in a wireless spread spectrum high capacity communications system which can accommodate two or more different chip rates. At a higher chip rate the data blocks are segmented into uniform suitable sizes for the detector which has an increased data block length to prevent loss of information to smearing due to effective overlap of segmented data blocks. The resultant data blocks are cut down to standard size by discarding samples and applied to a matched filter for further standard information processing.

Abstract: A chip rate invariant detector (FIG. 1) is used in a wireless spread spectrum high capacity communications system which can accommodate two or more different chip rates. At a higher chip rate the data blocks are segmented into uniform suitable sizes for the detector which has an increased data block length to prevent loss of information to smearing due to effective overlap of segmented data blocks. The resultant data blocks are cut down to standard size by discarding samples (21) and applied to a matched filter (23) for further standard information processing.
