CDMA receiver performing a path search, path search method, and program therefor
First Claim
1. A CDMA receiver performing a path search by searching with a prescribed timing a delay profile indicating a signal power distribution with respect to delay times of received signals, comprising:
- a separating means, which divides said delay profile into a plurality of regions, based on said delay time, and which selects at least one of said regions at the respective timings as a designated object for a signal power detection;
a detection means, which performs a signal power detection within said selected region, and determines a signal power distribution condition;
a priority establishing means, which establishes a priority of a region in response to said signal power distribution condition; and
a region designation means, which designates a region to be selected in said separating means as an object for said signal power detection so that the higher priority a region possessing, with the higher frequency can be designated.

Abstract
In a path search method, all regions of a delay profile subject to peak detection are divided into a plurality of regions, and a control is performed so as to assign a searching frequency to each regions, which is higher the higher is the total peak power of the path existing in the region. A CDMA receiver in which this path search method is implemented has a region data separating section, which separates region data, a peak position detection section, which detects a peak position of each region, a region index calculation section, which establishes and manages the priorities of each region, and a region designating calculation section, which specifies a region for the region data separating section as a region having a high priority.
