    Abstract: A Node-B/base station has a path searcher and at least one antenna for receiving signals from users. The path searcher comprises a set of correlators. Each correlator correlates an inputted user code with an inputted antenna output of the at least one antenna. An antenna controller selectively couples any output of the at least one antenna to an input of each correlator of the set of correlators. A code phase controller selects a user code for input into the set of correlators. Each delay of a series of delays delays the selected user code by a predetermined amount and each correlator of the set of correlators receives a different code phase delay of the selected user code. A sorter and path selector sorts the output energy levels of each correlator of the sets of correlators and produces a path profile for a user based on the sorted output energy levels.

    Abstract: A dynamic matched filter bank consists of a plurality of matched filters with either the reference signal for each matched filter changes with the time or the input signal to a matched filter is the received signal modified by a different way for a different matched filter. A receiver employed a set of dynamic matched filter banks in a multi-channel spread spectrum communication system consists of a signal register, a block PN generator, a plurality of spreading sequence generators, a plurality of register arrays, a plurality of multiplier arrays, a plurality of matched filters, a plurality of signal combiners, and a controller. The block PN generator generates a section of PN sequence at the end of every symbol period with feedback logic to shift a block of chips each time. A register array captures each section of PN sequence from the block PN generator and delays it for a symbol period. The rest register arrays are in cascade and delay the section of sequence at each of their inputs by one symbol period. The signal register generates a moving section of the received signal. Each of the multiplier arrays multiplies each moving section of the received signal by a section of PN sequence from either the block PN generator or one of the register arrays to provide a input signal to a corresponding matched filter. Each of the matched filter is to find the correlation between the section of its input signal and the section of its reference signal, which is a spreading sequence from a corresponding spreading sequence generator. Each of the signal combiners will combine the components from corresponding matched filters. The controller will monitor the signals from all matched filters and all signal combiners, extract necessary information, and generate various control signals.

    Abstract: A method of controlling transmission power during the establishment of a channel in a CDMA communication system utilizes the transmission of a short code from a subscriber unit to a base station during initial power ramp-up. The short code is a sequence for detection by the base station which has a much shorter period than a conventional spreading code. The ramp-up starts from a power level that is lower than the required power level for detection by the base station. The subscriber unit quickly increases transmission power while repeatedly transmitting the short code until the signal is detected by the base station. Once the base station detects the short code, it sends an indication to the subscriber unit to cease increasing transmission power. The use of short codes limits power overshoot and interference to other subscriber units and permits the base station to quickly synchronize to the spreading code used by the subscriber unit.
