A METHOD OF OPERATING A RECEIVER IN DETECTING A PRESENCE OF AN EXCESS DELAY SPREAD WITHIN A RECEIVED SIGNAL

摘要

A method for detecting a presence of an excess delay spread within a received signal is provited. First, a quantitative estimation of a similarity of two segment of the received signal is performed (S44). Thereafter, the presence of the excess delay spread within the received signal based upon the quantitative estimation is determined (S46). In determining the presence of an excess delay spread, the quantative estimation can be compared to a detection threshold.
