In a code division multiple access wireless communication system having at least one base transceiver station and at least one mobile station having a mobile station receiver assembly configured to receive a coded signal having an information-bearing signal portion and an associated interfering signal portion from the base transceiver station, a method and apparatus for automatic gain control compensation in the mobile station receiver assembly, is disclosed. The method includes causing a gain adjustment to the coded signal by an AGC circuit in the mobile station receiver assembly to produce a post-AGC signal having a post-AGC interfering signal portion with an associated post-AGC interfering signal power level, and an associated gain error value. The method further includes compensating for the gain adjustment to the coded signal if the number of receiver fingers assigned to demodulate the coded signal is less than or equal to a predetermined number.
In a wireless communication system, the wireless communication system including at least one base transceiver station and at least one mobile station having a receiver assembly, the base transceiver station capable of transmitting a coded signal having an information-bearing signal portion, the mobile station capable of receiving the coded signal having the information-bearing signal portion and an associated interfering signal portion, the receiver assembly including an automatic gain control circuit for adjusting a gain of the coded signal and a receiver having a number of receiver fingers for demodulating the coded signal and a finger manager for assigning the receiver fingers to demodulate the coded signal, an apparatus for automatic gain control compensation in the receiver assembly of the mobile station, the apparatus comprising:
