10. A method of multipath acquisition for a dedicated uplink traffic channel, comprising:
determining path positions of the traffic channel that have desired signal energy for processing in a base station receiver based on a DPDCH signal contained in the traffic channel and on information contained in a control part of the traffic channel.

11. A method of calculating frame energy of a dedicated uplink traffic channel frame for multipath acquisition of one or more path positions of the frame that are received by a base station receiver, comprising:
-
descrambling and despreading a filtered DPDCH signal output of the traffic channel frame that is received by the receiver and which corresponds to a given path position, and removing the data-dependency of the DPDCH using re-encoded DPDCH symbols of the frame so as to output first and second output symbols corresponding to the DPDCH signal, accumulating the first output symbols in a first given segment of a slot of the frame to output a first accumulated data signal and the second output signals in a second given segment of the frame to output a second accumulated data signal, calculating L2 norms for the first and second accumulated data signals to generate a plurality of input signals, and accumulating the input signals over a given duration to generate a desired DPDCH frame energy value for the given path position.

12. A method of determining valid paths for a dedicated uplink traffic channel received at a base station receiver, comprising, for each given path position:
-
determining a DPCCH frame energy value based on information contained in a control part of a frame of the traffic channel, determining a DPDCH frame energy value over a given duration based on information contained in a data part of the frame, combining the DPCCH and DPDCH frame energy values to generate a user energy value over the given duration, comparing one of the DPCCH frame energy and the user energy values for each given path position to a given threshold, and reporting path positions having one of the DPCCH frame energy or user energy values exceeding the threshold to processing circuitry within the base station receiver. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
