1. A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) for use in wireless communications comprising:
- an antenna system for receiving wireless signals and producing at least one sequential stream of received signal samples at a selected sampling rate;
a sequential array of N vector correlators VC [1] to VC [N], each configured for coherently accumulating sets of sequential received signal samples;
a sequence generator configured to selectively generate known sequences sought to be detected in received wireless signals;
the vector correlators coupled with the antenna system and the sequence generator such that for a series of a predetermined length of samples, the vector correlators process respective successive sets of samples which collectively include all samples in the series with a generated known sequence to produce mixed values that are coherently accumulated in the vector correlators; and
vector correlator accumulator control circuitry configured to selectively control an accumulated mixed value output of each vector correlator such that each vector correlator outputs an accumulated value after accumulating a selected number of sets of accumulated mixed values whereby power delay profiles (PDPs) of a series of at least N elements E1 to EN are produced.

Abstract
A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) and methods are used in a wireless communication system to process sampled received signals to establish and/or maintain wireless communications. A selectively controllable coherent accumulation unit produces power delay profiles (PDPs). A selectively controllable post processing unit passes threshold qualified magnitude approximation values and PDP positions to a device such as a rake receiver to determine receive signal paths.
