Selection of a received sequence by means of metrics
First Claim
1. A method of received data sequence assessment on a user equipment device, the method comprising (1) producing, for each of one or more received data sequences, a correlation metric describing the fit to a respective received sequence of the most likely of a set of candidates for the received sequence and (2) calculating an error metric indicative of discrepancies between the respective received sequence and its most likely candidate, the method further comprising comparing the error metrics to a threshold to determine which of the received sequences has an error metric below the threshold and determining which of the received sequences having an error metric below the threshold has the best correlation metric, characterized in that if none of the received sequences has an error metric below the threshold the correlation metrics of all of the received sequences are inspected to determine which of the received sequences has the best correlation metric, wherein the received sequence is a HS-SCCH channel and the error metric is a bit-error rate.
