In order to enhance the performance of wireless communication systems, we usually employ
diversity combining techniques. Rake reception is a diversity method that gained popularity …

In wideband wireless communication systems the RAKE receiver is commonly used to
collect the resolvable multipath energy and counter the effects of fading through diversity …

A critical aspect in the analysis, design and implementation of wireless communication
systems and networks is the thorough understanding of the nature and characteristics of the …

In the radio environment, transmitted signals arrive at the receiver via a direct, unobstructed
path, or via multiple paths from the reflection, diffraction and scattering of surrounding …

3G mobile devices and base stations employ rake receivers. An important issue in the
design of such receivers is finger allocation. This paper explores the relationship between …

Bit-error rate performance of the proposed Rake receiver for asynchronous direct sequence
code-division multiple access downlink system is investigated in this article, by computer …

Optimal finger placement improves significantly the performance of RAKE receivers.
However, due to its high complexity, it is rarely applied in mobile systems with large channel …

In the generalized RAKE (G-RAKE) receiver, the fingers positions and the combining
weights are jointly optimized. In real applications, however, we usually resort to suboptimal …

Under the Universal Mobile Telecommunication system (UMTS) environment the third
generation (3G) system is used to integrate a wide variety of communication services such …

Abstract Generalized RAKE (G-RAKE) reception reduces the total amount of interference
and provides enhanced diversity by comprising extra fingers to collect information about …
