ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for reducing the complexity of waveform correlation computations used by a multicode receiver is described herein. One exemplary multicode receiver includes a despreading unit, channel estimator, and waveform correlation calculator. The despreading unit despreads a received multicode signal to generate despread symbols. The channel estimator estimates channel coefficients associated with the despread symbols. The waveform correlation calculator determines waveform correlations between the transmitted symbols in successive processing windows that span two or more symbol periods and that overlap in time. To reduce the computational complexity associated with computing waveform correlations, the calculator may reuse channel coefficients and/or net channel correlations for multiple symbol periods and/or processing windows. The calculator may also reduce complexity by reusing one or more waveform correlations from a previous processing window as waveform correlations for one or more subsequent processing windows and/or by exploiting the Hermitian symmetry of the waveform correlation matrix.
