System and method for detecting multiple direct sequence spread spectrum signals using a multi-mode searcher. A preferred embodiment comprises the specification of a hypothesis for a particular communications network. The hypothesis can then be used to generate a pseudo-random number (PN
System and method for performing symbol boundary aligned searches of signals. A preferred embodiment comprises a search control unit (such as search control unit 725) that can determine a start and stop condition for a correlation based on a hypothesis, a searcher (such as searcher 7
This disclosure is generally directed to communication systems, devices used in communication systems and associated methods which may implement parallel hypothesis search techniques. The disclosed parallel hypothesis search techniques may permit a hypothesis to be dismissed early (i.e.,
A method and system for processing the results of searches for signals in a direct sequence spread spectrum communications system in an intelligent and efficient manner. A preferred embodiment comprises a search engine (for example, search engine 405) and a hardware result processor (for
