A Node-B/base station receiver comprises at least one antenna for receiving signals (2811-28MN). Each finger of a pool of reconfigurable Rake fingers (320- 323) recovers a multipath component of a user and is assigned a code of the user, a code phase of the multipath component and an antenna of the at least one antenna. An antenna/Rake finger pool interface (30) provides each finger of the Rake pool an output of the antenna assigned to that Rake finger. A combiner combines the recovered multipath components for a user to produce data of the user.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 11, 2003. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended April 11, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 11, 2025.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
