User equipment which uses pre-rotation before transmission

A method for reducing transmission errors by a user equipment (UE) when transmitting a communication signal, comprising the steps of:

• receiving an RF communication signal at said UE;
• filtering said received signal to generate a filtered signal using a weighting signal;
• analyzing said received signal for errors further includes:
• despreading said filtered signal using a pilot signal;
• performing a hard decision on said despread filtered signal to generate symbol outputs;
• and
• determining a plurality of complex conjugates of said symbol outputs to generate a correction signal;
• wherein said correction signal removes a plurality of phase errors contained in a plurality of path values;
• demodulating said received signal to generate said plurality path values for each multipath component in said received signal;
• generating said correction signal based upon said analysis;
• mixing said path values with said correction signal to generate said weighting signal;
• and
• correcting said communication signal using said correction signal prior to transmission of said communication signal from said UE.
