Abstract

Techniques are provided for aiding in acquiring a signal using the data bit information that is associated with each signal source. One aspect of the invention is to use the data bit information that is associated with each signal source when calculating the In Phase and Quadrature correlation integrals by using the sampled data associated with the received signal. By using the data bit information that is associated with each signal source, coherent correlation may be performed by breaking the signal into data blocks and performing calculations on a block-by-block basis. Coherent correlation is the calculation of In Phase and Quadrature correlation integrals for sampled data that is associated with the received signal.
