Abstract:
1. A subsymbol prediction apparatus, comprising: a correlator having an input to accept a first set of modulated symbol chips in a first order, said correlator to generate a set of correlator output signals based on said first set of modulated symbol chips; a data cross bar to selectively feed a second set of modulated symbol chips in a second order to said correlator based on one of a plurality of predicted subsymbol types; a windowing unit to selectively generate a subset of the set of correlator output signals based on the one of a plurality predicted subsymbol types; and a maximum picker unit to identify a maximum-valued correlator output signal from one of the set of correlator output signals or the subset of the set of correlator output signals, the maximum-valued correlator output signal corresponding to a predicted subsymbol of the predicted subsymbol type.
