Patent ID: 7573963

Claim:
A wireless communication apparatus comprising: a combiner configured to combine multipath or delayed replicates of odd and even sample data streams; and a non-over sample processing equalizer configured to receive a combined sample stream generated by the combiner comprising: an equalization filter configured to perform equalization filtering of the combined sample stream, wherein the equalization filtering operates at one times a chip rate; a first multiplier configured to descramble the equalized filtered combined sample stream; an accumulator configured to accumulate the descrambled equalized filtered combined sample stream for as predetermined period to obtain a result; an serial-to-parallel (S/P) converter configured to convert the combined sample stream into vectors; a second multiplier configured to descramble the vectors; a vector accumulator configured to accumulate the descrambled vectors for a predetermined period to generate update vectors based on the descrambled vectors; and a correction term generator configured to generate correction terms for tap coefficient updates based at least in part on the update vectors and the result.
