Abstract
A method for carrying out code synchronization when a signal has been spread-coded by a pseudo-random spreading code. The method comprises forming angular cells ( ), determining interference power in each angular cell ( ), arranging the angular cells ( ) according to the interference power, carrying out code acquisition by examining the arranged angular cells ( ) by using different delays of the spreading code, starting from the angular cell with the lowest interference power. The angular cells ( ) can e.g. be arranged as a vector in ascending order according to the interference power. The method comprises determining the number of angular cells to be formed e.g. by means of an estimated interference power.
