Rake Receiver Circuit and Method for Operating a Rake Receiver Circuit
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of operating a Rake receiver circuit, comprising:
- determining a first property of a first signal received over a dedicated channel and over a first transmission path;
determining a delay profile of a second signal; and
determining, on the basis of the delay profile and the first property, if the first transmission path is to be assigned to a Rake finger of the Rake receiver circuit.

Abstract
A method of operating a Rake receiver circuit includes determining a first property of a first signal received over a dedicated channel and over a first transmission path. The method further includes determining a delay profile of a second signal and determining, on the basis of the delay profile and the first property, if the first transmission path is to be assigned to a Rake finger of the Rake receiver circuit.
