Abstract
Method and receiver for processing a signal in a wireless communication system in which the signal comprises a sequence of chips. The signal is receive data at least one rake finger and sampled. There is a time spacing tbetween successive samples less than the time spacing tbetween successive chips in the signal. Channel conditions on the channel are estimated and based on estimated channel conditions by the following steps: monitoring timing of the signal on one of the at least one rake finger to determine a time difference between the timing of the signal on the one of the at least one rake finger and the timing of the generation of the samples, the determined time difference being a multiple of t, where t<t; aligning the timing of the generation of the samples with the timing of the signal on the one of the at least one rake finger to within a timing range t.
