Abstract
A method and apparatus for diversity searching and demodulator finger assignment in receivers with multiple receive chains enhances reception using optimal search and demodulator finger assignment operations. Optimal search and demodulator finger assignment for diversity environments provides improved interference cancellation and exploitation of independent fading by ensuring cell and receive chain diversity. After performing standard single antenna searching operations for each diversity receive chain, demodulator finger assignments are made according to signal strength and cell diversity. Signal paths are then re-assigned to achieve receive chain diversity if necessary. The availability of power control combiners may be considered when making demodulator finger assignments depending on the architecture of diversity receiver.
