A method and apparatus for determining operating modes in a receiver is described herein. A delay searcher in the receiver detects a signal image in the received signal. When the receiver is a RAKE receiver, a plurality of RAKE fingers coherently combine time-shifted versions of the received signal at different delays. Alternatively, when the receiver is a chip equalization receiver, an FIR filter coherently pre-combines the signal images in the received signal. A processor determines delays. In particular, the processor generates a first signal quality metric for a single-delay receiver mode, and generates a second signal quality metric for a multi-delay receiver mode. Based on a comparison of the first and second signal quality metrics, the processor selects the single-delay or the multi-delay receiver mode for processing the signal image.

A rake reception apparatus for determining whether a paging channel is received in a mobile terminal using a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) mode. A searcher searches for a multi-path signal using a received signal output from a Radio Frequency (RF) part, and calculates an energy value for each hypothesis. A demodulator demodulates a Paging Indicator (PI) for a hypothesis for which an energy value calculated by the searcher exceeds a valid path threshold. A controller determines whether a paging channel is received, according to the demodulated signal output from the demodulator, and performs finger allocation using a multi-path search of the searcher if it is determined that the paging channel is transmitted.

An object of the present invention is to provide a rake receiver and a receiving method for efficiently assigning paths to fingers in a CDMA mobile communication system. In the present invention, a correlation-value calculation section 2 calculates correlation values between spreading codes and reception signals input from an input terminal 1, at all timings at which rake reception is possible, and outputs the calculated correlation values to a delayed-profile creation section 3 and a difference-history creation section 6. The delayed-profile creation section 3 determines average correlation values and issues the values as a delayed profile to a path selection section 4. For each reception timing, the difference-history creation section 6 compares the latest correlation value issued from the correlation-value calculation section 2 with a previous correlation value held by the difference-history creation section 6, to determine a difference history, and issues the difference history to the path selection section 4. The path selection section 4 rearranges the delayed profile in decreasing order the average correlation values. When the delayed profile and the difference history satisfy all predetermined conditions, the path selection section 4 assigns the corresponding reception timing to a finger and issues the reception timing to the finger section 5.

Monitoring is made as to whether the serial number of header incorporated to the data sent to a Radio Link Control (RLC) after a decoding process is continuous. When it is determined as a result of monitoring for a predetermined period of time that no defect is present in the header numbers, a multi-path timing is detected by taking a correlation between the result of the detection and spread codes of received signals and a pilot signal. From this multi-path timing, a station, from which data are to be received in fingers, is determined for interrupting processes of de-spread, RAKE reception and decoding, thus reducing power consumed in the processes.

A rake reception device capable of allocating an appropriate number of fingers to a channel. In this device, a selection control section sets a finger allocated to the channel from the channel communication state and a control signal based on this setting is output to a synchronization processing section and to a selection switch. According to the control signal, the synchronization processing section detects a path and a spread code phase in a reception signal and allocates the detected path to the finger which has been set. The finger which has been set de-spreads the signal of the path allocated and performs synchronous detection. According to the control signal, the selection switch switches the connection between the finger and a maximum ratio combination section so that the output from the finger is output to the maximum ratio combination section.

The invention discloses a pulse radio ultra-wideband RAKE receiving and judging method in a high-speed mobile environment, and aims to solve the technical problem that a conventional pulse radio ultra-wideband RAKE receiving and judging method is complex. According to the technical scheme, the method comprises the following steps: sending data information bits according to a block structure, sending a data block to a receiving end through a channel after pulse is shaped, and obtaining a template signal vd (t) of an RAKE receiver after the receiving end is subjected to channel estimation; according to estimated doppler dimension change factors, carrying out doppler compensation for the template signal vd (t), so as to obtain a new RAKE receiving template signal v (t); carrying out RAKE receiving and judgment, so as to obtain sent information.
