Generally speaking, frequency difference Δ f system is calculated by at least two different parameter D, and for example, available parameter D value is 1 and 4.
Except the work relevant with calculated rate discrepancy delta f, this digital signal processor 39 is also carried out the Control work that forms about group; For example, which group these digital signal processor 39 decisions will form, and suitable pre-adjustment to a control unit 37 is provided.This control unit 37 has been controlled an address-generation unit 38, and these address-generation unit 38 pre-adjustments store the address in the buffer storage 35 of indivedual groups intermediate object program that this computing unit 34 produced.As a result, this address-generation unit 38 also can (at the specific pre-adjustment of one of this digital signal processor 39) be selected intermediate object program, to load this grouped element 14 or 15 by the form of data 103 or 104.
In addition, this circuit 30 has a control unit 36, and this control unit 36 receives control signal 206 from this RAKE receiver; Described control signal 206 has comprised about referring to information with arriving in the related RAKE of the frequency pilot sign of circuit 30 rake; This represents that this control unit 36 is the information such as transfer path that receive by the conjugation data of described control signal 206 and this control unit 37 about associated base station, base station operation pattern and frequency pilot sign 100.
When posting a letter by the mode of control signal 206 with the related information that a specific RAKE rake refers to about the frequency pilot sign of a reception, conjugation data in this control unit 37 just can with decide which transfer path system by the relevant RAKE rake in which cell element refer to receive, its transfer mode also can be discerned according to the base station that is determined.As further information, this RAKE rake refers to be to be associated with one of accumulation results particular demographic.
In addition, the control signal system between control unit 36 and 37 can two-wayly exchange, and the described control signal 206 that this RAKE receiver is produced also is conducted to this control unit 37 equally.
The information system that is sent to this control unit 36 is used for controlling by control signal 201 this buffer storage 33, and controls these computing units 34 by control signal 202 with 203; In addition, control unit 36 is posted a letter to this computing unit 34, and the frequency pilot sign 100 related with the base station is to operate in its operator scheme; As a result, this computing unit 34 just can be based on circuit 1 or circuit 20 and is disposed.
