Abstract: Described embodiments receive a signal by a set of fixed taps and a set of floating taps of a receiver, each tap corresponding to a detected symbol. Each of the floating taps is stored in a corresponding shift register to account for process, operating voltage and temperature (PVT) variations of the receiver without calibration of delay elements. Multiplexing logic selects (i) corresponding floating taps for equalization by coupling selected floating taps to the outputs of the fixed taps, and (ii) different phases of each possible floating tap position. The multiplexing logic prunes and/or amalgamates the phases of each possible floating tap position and selects floating taps based on a magnitude of each phase. A combiner adjusts each output value of the fixed taps and the selected floating taps by a corresponding tap-weight, combines the adjusted values into an output signal and subtracts the output signal from the input signal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to receiving access signals from a plurality of terminals over a radio channel and in particular to determining a detection threshold level on the radio channel. A detection threshold level should balance the risk of missed detections to the risk of false detections. A problem in finding an equilibrium threshold is the radio environment, with noise and interference, change and then also the radio false detections or missed detections change. According to the present invention some access signals can be identified as being not assigned and therefore not being in use, and any detection of a non-used signal is identified as a false detection. By monitoring the ratio of false detections vs. correct detections the threshold level for detection is tuned into an equilibrium level, and that is adapted to the changing radio environments.
