ABSTRACT:
A receiver for CDMA signals, in which data intended for transmission to multiple intended receivers is spread by respective orthogonal spreading codes and scrambled by an aperiodic random scrambling code, includes a processing branch for each of a number of base stations from which the receiver may pick up CDMA signals. Each processing branch performs both channel equalisation based on a set of weights for that branch, and a decoding operation. The outputs of the branches are combined to produce a combined signal which is used both for determining the data intended for the receiver, and in a feedback loop to improve the sets of weights. The receiver is reliable even in the presence of mutipath fading and during soft handover.
