    Abstract: Improved apparatus for a radio communication network having a multiplicity of mobile transceiver units selectively in communication with a plurality of base transceiver units which communicate with one or two host computers for storage and manipulation of data collected by bar code scanners or other collection means associated with the mobile transceiver units. The radio network is adaptive in that in order to compensate for the wide range of operating conditions a set of variable network parameters are exchanged between transceivers in the network. These parameters define optimized communication on the network under current network conditions. Examples of such parameters include: the length and frequency of the spreading code in direct-sequence spread spectrum communications; the hop frame length, coding, and interleaving in frequency-hopping spread spectrum communications; the method of source encoding used; and the data packet size in a network using data segmentation. The invention is preferably to be applicable as an upgrade of an existing data capture system wherein a large number of hand-held transceiver units operate over an extensive area to gather data in various places, requiring the use of multiple base stations. In a variety of such installations such as warehouse facilities, distribution centers, and retail establishments, it may be advantageous to utilize not only multiple bases capable of communication with a single host, but with multiple hosts as well.

    Abstract: A single, common correlation filter (CF) core is provided in a wireless system using CDMA. A plurality of channels with different data rates are provided in the wireless system. The channels provided in the wireless system include the access channel, the maintenance channel, and the traffic channel in which information (e.g., pilot or data symbols or both) is transmitted at the tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3 rates. The data rate for transmitting the information is programmable by digital signal processor (DSP). A user-unique code, such as a PN code, is applied to the information being transmitted in the channels of the wireless system. The information is QPSK modulated and transmitted in any one of the channels at any data rate. The transmitted information is correlated at the smallest data rate (i.e., the tier 1 rate) in the correlation filter (CF) of the wireless system by time multiplexing delayed versions of the PN code to the correlation filter core. The correlated information is then demultiplexed and pilot aided QPSK demodulated. The demodulated information is summed at the proper integer multiple of the tier 1 rate to achieve the tier 2 and tier 3 rates. The three strongest multipaths (in terms of the received power) are selected in a window or time period for optimal information recovery. Furthermore, three outputs from the demodulated information can be provided and combined for temporal diversity. Spatial diversity is achieved by providing a plurality of antennas at each receiver and a single, common correlation filter at each of the plurality of antennas of the receivers in the wireless system.

    Abstract: A spread-spectrum demodulator architecture is presented which utilizes parallel processing to accomplish rapid signal acquisition with simultaneous tracking of multiple channels, while implementing an integrated multi-element adaptive beamformer, Rake combiner, and multi-user detector (MUD). A matched filter computational architecture is utilized, in which common digital arithmetic elements are used for both acquisition and tracking purposes. As each channel is sequentially acquired by the parallel matched filter, a subset of the arithmetic elements are then dedicated to the subsequent tracking of that channel. Additionally, multiple data inputs and delay lines are present, connecting the sampled baseband data streams of numerous RF bands and antenna elements with the arithmetic elements. The matched filter/despreader processing is virtually independent of channel origin or utilization; e.g., CDMA users, RF bands, beamformer elements, or Rake Fingers. Integration of the beamformer weighting computation with the demodulator results in substantial savings by sharing the existing circuitry performing carrier tracking and AGC. An optimal demodulator solution can be achieved through unified nullspace/timenull processing, by providing all observables (element snapshots, Rake Fingers, carrier/symbol SNR/phase, etc.), for multiple channels, to a single adaptive algorithm processor that can beamform, Rake, and perform joint detection (MUD).
