Patent ID: 8503509

Claim:
A method for processing radio frequency (RF) signals, the method comprising: performing by one or more processors and/or circuits: detecting a maximum signal energy level among a plurality of individual distinct path signals in a wirelessly received signal cluster; computing an early aggregate power level associated with at least a portion of said plurality of individual distinct path signals received at time instants preceding a first moment time, and a late aggregate power level associated with at least a portion of said plurality of individual distinct path signals received at time instants subsequent to said first moment time, wherein said first moment time corresponds to a time said detected maximum signal energy level is detected; adjusting said first moment time based on said early aggregate power level and said late aggregate power level; and recovering at least a portion of said plurality of individual distinct path signals at a corresponding plurality of time instants based on said adjusted first moment time wherein said at least a portion of said plurality of individual distinct path signals is received within a duration comprising a delay spread of said wirelessly received signal cluster.
