Patent ID: 7099384

Claim:
A mobile unit, comprising: an antenna; and an equalizer coupled to the antenna, the equalizer comprising: a plurality of taps, each having first and second associated coefficients, the first associated coefficient corresponding to a first plurality of time slot occurrences, the second associated coefficient corresponding to a second plurality of time slot occurrences, time slot occurrences of the second plurality of time slot occurrences alternating with time slot occurrences of the first plurality of time slot occurrences, the plurality of taps being operative to scale a first set of input symbols during the first plurality of time slot occurrences by the first associated coefficients, the plurality of taps being further operative to scale a second set of input symbols during the second plurality of time slot occurrences by the second associated coefficients, the plurality of taps being further operative to generate tap outputs and being equal to a total number of symbols per sample set; a summing node coupled to the plurality of taps, the summing node being operative to sum the tap outputs; and a memory storage unit adapted to store coefficient adjustment information, wherein the associated coefficients are adjusted according to the coefficient adjustment information.
