Abstract

In a wireless communication system comprising an effective ray detector, a method for detecting and assigning a mobile station signal including receiving a plurality of search metrics, the plurality of search metrics including a plurality of offset energy values at corresponding time offsets, sorting the plurality of search metrics in order of their offset energy values, calculating a plurality of decoding success predictors, and selecting the decoding success predictor having the maximum value. The method also includes forwarding an acknowledgment message declaring signal detection to the mobile station if the maximum decoding success predictor has a value greater than zero. The method further includes assigning receiver demodulation at the time offsets associated with the maximum decoding success predictor if the maximum decoding success predictor has a value greater than zero.
