This paper proposes a space-time pre-RAKE system for the downlink in TDD/DS-CDMA. The system realizes space-selective transmission and temporal pre-RAKE. Performance analysis in single- and multi-user environment is presented and the relation between system performance and channel parameters (angle spread, Doppler frequency and burst frame size) is discussed.
