Abstract:
The present invention has an object to provide a spread spectrum communication system for heightening the speed of communication. The present invention transfers the first PN code sequence itself as the first component, adds and transfers zero or more instances of the second PN code sequence given a phase difference as the second component, and defines an information for transmitting by the number of the second PN codes corresponding to a cycle of said first PN code sequence.
Abstract:
Spread spectrum communication techniques and applications using signature sequences are described to reduce the effects of certain transmission impairments such as co-channel interference, multiple access interference and intersymbol interference. Signature sequences with structured properties are obtained by generating cosets from a seed set of sequences, constructing a subset of sequences by concatenating the sequences of a coset and constructing a full set of sequences by concatenating the subsets of sequences.
Abstract:
A system for time division multiplexed communication over a single frequency band in which guard time overhead is reduced by active adjustment of reverse link transmission timing as a function of round trip propagation time. In one embodiment, during a first portion of a time frame, a base station issues a single burst segmented into time slots comprising data directed to each user station. After a single collective guard time, the user stations respond, one by one, in allocated time slots on the same frequency as the base station, with only minimal guard times between each reception. In order to prevent interference among the user transmissions, the base station measures the round trip propagation time for each user station and commands the user stations to advance or retard their transmission timing as necessary. To establish the initial range of a new user station, a short message is sent by the new user station during the collective guard portion (or, alternatively, during an available time slot), from which the base station calculates the propagation delay and hence the distance of the user station. Messages sent from the base station to the user stations may be interleaved so as to reduce the effects of potential noise or interference.
Abstract:
Expanded multilevel noise codes are generated of a type termed "code mates"aving autocorrelation functions which, upon detection in a matched filter, provide an impulse autocorrelation function. More particularly, expanded multilevel code mate pairs are generated by butting two multi-bit codes comprising a mate pair wherein one of the codes in each expanded mate pair comprises a code having a larger amplitude than the other code and whose position is mutually transposed in the expanded mate pairs and further wherein one of the butted codes is the complement or negative of one of the original or base code mates.

Abstract:
The electronic circuit arrangement is used for generating poly-phase sequences as synchronization sequences and/or reference sequences in radio communications systems. It comprises a first adder, a first multiplier, a first register, a second register, a first counter and a trigonometry device. The first adder adds a value (km) formed from the value (k) of the counter to the value (B) of the first register. The first multiplier multiplies the value (A) of the second register by a value (y) formed from the value (B) of the first register and the value (k) of the counter. The trigonometry device forms the real part and the imaginary part of the present value of the poly-phase sequence (ak) from a value formed at least from the output value (wk) of the first multiplier.
Abstract:
In a cellular system using an OFDM scheme, a transmitter multiplies subcarriers for channel estimation by codes and transmits them, the codes being such that a phase difference φ of the code multiplied with consecutive subcarriers for channel estimation is constant, and a code of every M consecutive subcarriers (M being 2 or an integer greater than 2) is mutually orthogonal with a code multiplied with same subcarriers of another transmitter.
Abstract:
A transmission apparatus for generating a complex four-phase pseudo-random sequence having I and Q portions includes a shift register and an accumulator. The shift register has a plurality of positions. The accumulator has a first input for receiving an output from the shift register and a second input for receiving a predetermined value. The accumulator combines the data received via the first and second inputs and outputs the combined data to the shift register. Bits from a first predetermined position within the shift register are used to generate the I portion of the sequence and bits from a second predetermined position within the shift register are used to generate the Q portion of the sequence.
Abstract:
The use of cyclic prefixes with OFDM transmissions is known. Typically the prefix length is chosen to be at least as long as the duration of significant multipath in the transmission channel. However, OFDM has disadvantages in terms of DSP load and transmitter power amplifier specifications. The use of a cyclic prefix with periodic CDMA codes has been found to yield equivalent performance in terms of orthogonality in a dispersive channel and yet overcomes the disadvantages of cyclicly prefixed OFDM transmissions. Examples are given of Walsh Hadamard binary periodic codes.
Abstract:
A multiple access, spread-spectrum communication system processes a plurality of information signals received by a Radio Carrier Station (RCS) over telecommunication lines for simultaneous transmission over a radio frequency (RF) channel as a code-division-multiplexed (CDM) signal to a group of Subscriber Units (SUs). The RCS receives a call request signal that corresponds to a telecommunication line information signal, and a user identification signal that identifies a user to receive the call. The RCS includes a plurality of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) modems, one of which provides a global pilot code signal. The modems provide message code signals synchronized to the global pilot signal. Each modem combines an information signal with a message code signal to provide a CDM processed signal. The RCS includes a system channel controller is coupled to receive a remote call. An RF transmitter is connected to all of the modems to combine the CDM processed signals with the global pilot code signal to generate a CDM signal. The RF transmitter also modulates a carrier signal with the CDM signal and transmits the modulated carrier signal through an RF communication channel to the SUs. Each SU includes a CDMA modem which is also synchronized to the global pilot signal. The CDMA modem despreads the CDM signal and provides a despread information signal to the user. The system includes a closed loop power control system for maintaining a minimum system transmit power level for the RCS and the SUs, and system capacity management for maintaining a maximum number of active SUs for improved system performance.
