Radio communication terminal apparatus and radio communication base station apparatus
View Patent ↗A CDMA radio receiving apparatus which receives a slot which has a long code group identification short code at a point where a long code is masked. The apparatus includes a detector that detects a phase of the long code in association with a pattern that appears over successive slots and comprises the long code group identification short code. The apparatus also includes a correlator that performs correlation processing in association with the phase detected by the detector to identify the long code.
1. A radio communication terminal apparatus comprising:
a first correlation system that calculates a correlation between a received signal having a plurality of slots and a short code common to all base stations to obtain first correlation values;
a detecting system that detects a maximum value of the obtained first correlation values to detect a slot timing;
a second correlation system that calculates a correlation between the received signal and each of a plurality of candidates for a long code group identification short code to obtain second correlation values in association with the detected slot timing;
an acquiring system that obtains a long code group in association with the long code group identification short code with a maximum value of the obtained second correlation values, while detecting a beginning position of a long code in association with a pattern of the obtained second correlation values to detect a frame timing;
a third correlation system that calculates a correlation between the received signal and each of long codes belonging to the obtained long code group in association with the detected frame timing to obtain third correlation values; and
an identification system that identifies a long code used by a base station that transmits the received signal, in association with the obtained third correlation values.
