Abstract

A wireless-communications unit has a receiver chain including a codec decoding the output of a rake receiver. Soft decisions passing from the rake receiver to the codec are scaled. The scaling factor can be tuned by monitoring a function based on the cumulative probability distribution function of the scaled soft decisions.
