Abstract
The ratio of the delay spread associated with a selected channel to the chip duration is used to determine the number of resolvable paths per carrier in a communication system. A desired number of paths per carrier for the selected channel may then be determined. Next, a number of carriers corresponding to the desired number of paths per carrier may be allocated to the communication signal. Alternatively, a number of carriers for a given channel may be allocated as a function.
