Abstract

In a spread spectrum digital radiocommunication receiver, a first estimate of a symbol transmitted by a sender is calculated by applying to a radio signal received a processing taking into account a number N of propagation paths from the sender, a parameter of reliability of the first estimate is evaluated, and when the reliability parameter evaluated does not satisfy a confidence criterion, a second estimate of the symbol is calculated by taking into account at least one (N+1)-th propagation path from the sender in the processing applied to the radio signal received.
