Patent ID: 6996160

Claim:
A method of employing a Rake receiver in a wireless radio access system to a radio uplink link which results in a significant increase in data transference in a spread modulation signal, the method comprising: (a) receiving a spread modulation signal and presenting it to a plurality of Rake fingers, wherein each Rake finger processes the spread modulation signal, each Rake finger delaying the spread modulation signal by a differing amount of time; (b) multiplying the delayed spread modulation signal with a first reference signal producing a control bit signal; (c) multiplying the delayed spread modulation signal with a second reference signal producing a data signal; (d) delaying said data signal producing a delayed data signal; (e) multiplying said delayed data signal with weights produced by a frequency offset estimator and a complex weight gain generator to produce a first set of data; and (f) summing the outputs of all of the Rake fingers, producing data symbols and control bit symbols.
