1. A decoder, comprising:
- an equalizer that receives a modulated signal comprising a plurality of symbols including a first symbol defined by a first number of chips; and
a subsymbol processor that generates a subsymbol waveform after receiving a second number of chips of the first symbol and before at least one of receiving, decoding, and deciding the first number of chips of the first symbol with the subsymbol processor,wherein the second number is less than the first number, and wherein the equalizer equalizes the modulated signal using the subsymbol waveform.

Abstract
A decoder comprises an equalizer that receives a modulated signal comprising a plurality of symbols including a first symbol defined by a first number of chips. A subsymbol processor that generates a subsymbol waveform after receiving a second number of chips of the first symbol and before at least one of receiving, decoding, and deciding the first number of chips of the first symbol. The second number is less than the first number, and wherein the equalizer equalizes the modulated signal using the subsymbol waveform.

30. A decoder comprising:
-
an equalizer that receives a modulated signal including a received symbol defined by a first number of chips; a demodulation unit comprising; a decoder that decodes the received symbol after receiving the first number of chips defining the received symbol; and partial correlation logic that generates a decoded subsymbol based on a second number of chips of the received symbol received by the equalizer and before at least one of receiving, decoding, and deciding the first number of chips of the received symbol, wherein the second number is less than the first number; and a remodulation unit that generates a subsymbol waveform corresponding to the decoded subsymbol, wherein the equalizer equalizes the remodulated signal using the subsymbol waveform. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34)
