Patent ID: 8094574

Claim:
A wireless user equipment, comprising: a receiving module configured to receive signal components including a first signal transmitted over a common pilot channel (CPICH) and a second signal transmitted over a paging indicator channel (PICH) during a time duration, wherein the second signal comprises a paging indicator in the time duration; a processor module including: a first correlator unit configured to correlate the first signal received during the time duration to a pre-defined code; a second correlator unit configured to correlate the second signal received during the time duration to a channelisation code to de-spread the second signal; a selector unit configured to determine transmission paths based on correlation results from the first correlator unit, and select a number of the correlation results from the second correlator unit corresponding to the transmission paths; and a combiner unit configured to combine the selected correlation results from the second correlator unit; wherein the processor module is configured to extract the paging indicator from the combined correlation results; and a controller module configured to control the wireless user equipment according to the paging indicator.
