ABSTRACT:
Method and system are disclosed for detecting a situation where it is likely that additional multipath components are available in the channel, but are not included in the RAKE processing. In some embodiments, the invention uses the interference estimates for all RAKE fingers associated with tracked multipath components to detect the fraction of the available signal energy that is captured by the path searcher. The invention provides an activation signal to the path searcher if the fraction of the available power that is captured by the tracked paths falls below a predefined threshold.
