A data processing device in a mobile radio telephone receiver contains a RAKE receiver portion with RAKE fingers and a path search and evaluation device for detecting paths of the air interface which must be allocated to the individual RAKE fingers and for estimating one or more parameters with respect to each detected path. A finger selection and power consumption reduction device performs a clock rate reduction or disconnects individual RAKE fingers in consideration of the path parameters.

A transmit signal is generated with N antenna data signals for emission via N transmitting antennas. A useful data signal X is subjected to channel coding to generated the transmit signal. On the signal path between channel coding and the emission via the transmitting antennas, data rate matching is performed by way of a data rate matching stage which makes it possible that the number N of the transmitting antennas can be predetermined independently of the code rate.

A digital data signal to be transmitted is split into a number of subsidiary data signals by a data signal splitting device and is output by a timeslot data output device in a particular timeslot of a TDMA frame made up of a plurality of timeslots. A channeling device is used to impress a CDMA code onto each subsidiary data signal which is output in the particular timeslot.

In a method for synchronizing a mobile radio receiver with a radio signal time slot structure a first portion, detected during a first time slot period, and a second portion, detected during a later time slot period, of a received time slot synchronization code sequence is correlated with the known time slot synchronization code sequence sent out by the base station in the receiver. From the two obtained coxrelation results, the position of the time slots in time is determined.

A method and a device for generating a rate compatible code are described. In the method, a serial-concatenated code at a code rate that can be predetermined is generated. A message signal is partially coded by a first coding stage. A second coding stage is provided on the output side of the first coding stage. The code rate of the coded message signal can be set in a manner which can be predetermined by a controllable puncturer which is disposed in the signal path between the first coding stage and the second coding stage.

A method and device for decoding a sequence of physical signals. A Viterbi algorithm is carried out a first time for all physical signals, resulting in a maximum likelihood path, wherein there is one signal value for each physical signal and which has been determined along the entire trellis according to the Viterbi algorithm. A reliability value is determined for each signal value of the maximum likelihood path. The Viterbi algorithm is then carried out a second time with the following steps: selecting one subregion of the trellis, the subregion having a partial initial signal value and a partial end signal value on the maximum likelihood path; determining one further path in that subregion of the trellis which ends at the partial end signal value of the maximum likelihood path; determining each signal value on the further path and comparing same with the corresponding signal value on the maximum likelihood path relating to the same time; depending on the comparison result, the signal value of the maximum likelihood path is allocated the reliability value determined in the previous iteration step or the minimum of this and the reliability value of the partial end signal value; shifting the subregion of the trellis by at least one time unit; and using, storing and/or outputting the determined signal values and selected reliability values associated with the signal values as the decoded sequence.

In a method for deinterleaving a data signal interleaved in blocks in accordance with a prescribed interleaving specification, deinterleaving target addresses are calculated for a first prescribed segment of the data symbols to be deinterleaved, and are stored in a target address memory. The relevant segment of the data symbols is then deinterleaved by using the calculated target addresses. Subsequently, these two steps are repeated until the entire data block has been segmentally deinterleaved.

A turbo decoder is used in a method for blockwise decoding a data signal that is error protection coded at a transmitter and that is detected in a receiver.
