Abstract
A communications module, device and corresponding method for facilitating PN code searching. The module and device have a PN sequence generator configurable to generate a plurality of PN sequences. The module and device also include computational units configurable to correlate received signal samples of a plurality of received signal samples with a corresponding PN sequence of the plurality of PN sequences, and further configurable to provide other hardware resources. A number of computational units from the plurality of computational units are selectively configured to correlate the received signal samples with the PN sequences—the number depending upon availability of the plurality of computational units from providing the other hardware resources. According to a preferred embodiment, a plurality of configurable computational units are selectively configurable to implement the PN sequence generator.
