Abstract
Demodulator assignment logic is provided that confirms the presence and quality of a multipath before assigning a parallel demodulator to that multipath. Multipath presence and quality are confirmed when at least two power measurements of a multipath at least equal a selectable power threshold. Before permitting demodulated data from an assigned demodulator to be processed, demodulator assignment logic further reconfirms the presence and quality of a multipath via another more reliable power measurement that at least equals another selectable power threshold.
