ADAPTIVE CORRELATION
First Claim
1. A method for correlating samples of a received signal and samples of an internally generated or stored sample sequence, comprising:
- performing a first iteration of a low-resolution correlation, said low-resolution correlation including the steps of;
selecting a first N sets of received signal samples from a received signal;
selecting a first set of reference samples from an internally generated or stored sample sequence;
concurrently comparing each of said first N sets of received signal samples with said first set of reference samples to determine if a sufficient correlation exists between the same; and
wherein said first N sets of received signal samples and said first set of reference samples comprise the same number of samples.

Abstract
A method is provided for correlating samples of a received signal and samples of an internally generated/stored sample sequence (“IGSSS”). The method involves performing a first iteration of a first-resolution correlation state. The first-resolution correlation state involves: selecting a first N sets of samples from the received signal; selecting a first set of samples from the IGSSS; and concurrently comparing each of the N sets of samples with the first set of samples to determine if a correlation exists between the same. If it is determined that a correlation does not exist between one of the N sets of samples and the first set of samples, then a second iteration of the first-resolution correlation state is performed. If it is determined that a correlation exists between one of the N sets of samples and the first set of samples, then a first iteration of a second-resolution correlation state is performed.
