ABSTRACT:
A method for use in receiving a spread-spectrum signal includes receiving an input signal. The input signal includes a first plurality of multipath components. The method also includes despreading the first plurality of multipath components. The step of despreading includes computing a plurality of corresponding delays. The method also includes computing a plurality of combining weights based, at least in part, on interference correlation between at least two of the first plurality of multipath components, selecting, according to at least one criterion, a subset of the plurality of combining weights, and despreading and combining a second plurality of multipath components using at least one quantity related to the selected plurality of combining weights and a plurality of delays and multipath components corresponding to the plurality of selected combining weights. This Abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an Abstract that allows a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain subject matter of the technical disclosure. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
