Patent ID: 7174141

Claim:
Apparatus for a radio communication system having a network part and a mobile node selectably operable to communicate data signals by way of radio channels susceptible to fading with the network part pursuant to a communication service, said apparatus for facilitating communication between the mobile node and the network part, said apparatus comprising: an ultrawide band signal detector embodied at the mobile node, said ultrawide band signal detector for detecting ultrawide band signals generated by the network part, the ultrawide band signals generated by the network part at least pseudo-randomly and communicated by way of the radio channels susceptible to fading; a signal replicator for generating replica signals, the replica signals replicas of the ultrawide band signals prior to communication thereof upon the radio channels that are susceptible to distortion; a comparator adapted to receive indications of the ultrawide band signals detected by said ultrawide band signal detector and to receive the replica signals generated by said signal replicate, said comparator for comparing the indications of the ultrawide band signals together with the replica signals, comparisons made by said comparator used to facilitate the communication between the mobile node and the network part.
