Abstract
The embodiments of this invention relate generally to wireless telecommunication systems and, more particularly, to spread spectrum code division multiple access communication systems that employ a pilot-channel for path search and acquisition and for allocating fingers of a multifinger correlator, such as one found in a RAKE receiver. While the path search is an important part of the RAKE process, conventional path search methods require a large storage space for implementing the required correlation algorithms. One of the advantages of this invention is the noticeable reduction of the required storage space.
