Patent ID: 6999427

Claim:
A CDMA reception apparatus comprising: propagation path variation estimation means for estimating propagation path variations between respective prior transmit power control sections and a current transmit power control section to obtain propagation path variation estimation values, wherein each of the propagation path variation estimation values is obtained by estimating a propagation path variation between a different corresponding prior transmit power control section and the current transmit power control section; propagation path variation correction means for generating a plurality of corrected products, each corrected product obtained by multiplying at least one of vector, amplitude and/or power of a received signal of the different corresponding prior transmit power control section by said propagation path variation estimation value obtained by estimating the propagation path variation between the different corresponding prior transmit power control section and the current transmit power control section; and averaging means for averaging the plurality of corrected products including averaging section setting means for setting an averaging section, wherein said averaging section setting means comprises: means for setting said averaging section smaller than the present averaging section when performing communication by a channel in each transmit power control section, in which power of said channel allocated to a signal subjected to received signal power measurement is higher than a predetermined value; and means for setting said averaging section larger than the present averaging section when performing communication by a channel in each transmit power control section, in which power of said channel allocated to a signal subjected to received signal power measurement is smaller than the predetermined value.
