Abstract

A downlink channel receiver operable to implement fractional dedicated physical channel (F-DPCH) processing within a Rake receiver structure is provided. The downlink channel receiver includes a receiver, a baseband processing block, a WCDMA processing block, wherein F-DPCH processing is divided between a plurality of hardware processing blocks and a plurality of firmware (FW) processing blocks. The receiver is operable to convert a radio frequency (RF) signal to a baseband signal. The baseband processing block operable to processes and provides the baseband signal to the WCDMA processing block. F-DPCH processing is divided between the plurality of hardware processing blocks and plurality of firmware (FW) processing blocks.
