Abstract
A wireless base station (). The base station comprises at least one receive antenna (AT) for receiving communication signals from at least one transmitting station (UST), and the signals are spread with a plurality of chips. The base station further comprises circuitry () for selecting a set of chips corresponding to a first signal received by the at least one receive antenna and circuitry () for forming a set of de-spread chips corresponding to the set of chips and in response to a code. Still further, the base station comprises a functional data path () comprising an accumulator for receiving the set of de-spread chips and circuitry for receiving an instruction. The functional data path is operable in response to a first instruction, received by the circuitry for receiving an instruction, to accumulate (or) a first number of de-spread chips in the set of de-spread chips for producing at least one corresponding symbol. The functional data path is operable in response to a second instruction, received by the circuitry for receiving an instruction, to accumulate () a second number of de-spread chips in the set of de-spread chips for producing an EOL measure.
