Appeal No. 2004-0925
Application 09/204,734
THE INVENTION
The appellant claims a method and system for processing
spread spectrum signals from a plurality of traffic channels and
a plurality of pilot channels. Claim 1, which claims the method,
is illustrative:
1. A method of processing spread spectrum signals from a
plurality of traffic channels and a plurality of pilot channels,
comprising the steps of:
receiving data samples from the plurality of traffic
channels and the plurality of pilot channels;
correlating the received data samples to spreading codes to
produce pilot despread values and traffic despread values;
forming scale factors corresponding to the relative
strengths of the plurality of traffic channels and the plurality
of pilot channels;
scaling the pilot despread values by the scale factors to
form scaled pilot despread values;
estimating channel responses using the scaled pilot despread
values to produce channel coefficient estimates;
combining the traffic despread values, using the channel
coefficient estimates, to obtain detection statistics that
correspond to the relative strengths of the plurality of traffic
channels and the plurality of pilot channels.
