Filtering multipath propagation delay values for use in a mobile communications system

摘要

A monitored delay set in a telecommunications system is filtered by, for each delay value in the monitored delay set, adjusting a corresponding quality indicator to indicate a lower quality if the delay value is not also represented in a newly obtained set of delay values. For each delay value in the monitored delay set, the corresponding quality indicator is adjusted to indicate a higher quality if the delay value is also represented in the newly obtained set of delay values. For each of the quality indicators, if the quality indicator is less than a first threshold value, the corresponding delay value is then removed from the monitored delay set.
