Abstract
A method is disclosed for receiving a transmitted signal in a communication system employing CDMA techniques wherein the transmitted signal includes a plurality of short codes, each of which is transmitted repetitively over a fixed period of time and where the received signal has CW interference in addition to the transmitted signal. The method includes using a Sequential Ratio Probability Test (SPRT) for detecting the presence of the short code in a plurality of time phases of the received signal by calculating a likelihood ratio for each phase. A likelihood ratio is a comparison of the signal's Probability Distribution Function (PDF) with a background noise PDF. The background noise PDF is calculated by combining in the RAKE the current short code with the input signal.
