    摘要: An apparatus and method for correlating a signal over a correlation interval while accommodating spreading code frequency offset is described. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a plurality of correlators, where each correlator forms a correlation result corresponding to a unique code frequency offset hypothesis. Each correlator selects samples from a tapped delay line at a tap position moved along the delay line at a rate corresponding to the correlator unique code frequency offset hypothesis.

    摘要: A method for partitioning communication resource among multiple users partitions a portion of an available communication resource into a series of time-frequency slots, and allows multiple users to transmit in one of at least two available modes within a time-frequency slot. Preferably, one mode is time division of the time-frequency slot into time sub-slots, and another mode is code division of the time-frequency slot according to different spreading codes that spread an individual user's signal only within the subject time-frequency slot. Further details as to pilot signals, guard intervals, and payloads are described.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method for operating a code division multiple access communications system, and a system that operates in accordance with the method. The method operates within a coverage area of a base station by assigning a set of spreading codes to individual ones of a plurality of subscriber stations and then, during transmissions within the cell, by periodically hopping amongst spreading code within the set of spreading codes such that at any given time no two subscriber stations operate with the same spreading code. The set of spreading codes may include the all one's spreading code. The step of periodically hopping preferably changes from a currently used spreading code to a next spreading code at a symbol rate or at a multiple of the symbol rate. The set of spreading codes may be a hopped sub-set of a larger set of spreading codes, and in this case the method further operates to assign a non-hopped sub-set of the larger set of spreading codes to individual ones of the plurality of subscriber stations for use on a system access channel and/or on a system control channel or, more generally, for use on a non-traffic channel. The system may be a fixed data rate system or a variable data rate system. In the latter case the step of periodically hopping may change from a currently used spreading code to a next spreading code at the symbol rate, or at a multiple of the symbol rate of the lowest or the highest symbol rate users.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method for operating a fixed wireless system (FWS) having a radio base unit (RBU) that uses a code division multiple access (CDMA) airlink for communicating with a plurality of subscriber units (SUs) within a coverage area of the RBU. The method includes establishing, from a set of pseudonoise (PN) spreading codes, a subset of PN spreading codes that are currently assigned to SUs and a subset of PN spreading codes that are currently not assigned to SUs. The method further ranks the PN spreading codes from the subset of non-assigned PN spreading codes by an amount of interference experienced by the use of each non-assigned PN spreading code, and assigns to an SU requiring a PN spreading code a PN spreading code from the set of non-assigned PN spreading codes that is ranked as having a least amount of interference. The step of ranking the non-assigned PN spreading codes is preferably performed periodically, and includes the steps of assigning, in turn, individual ones of the PN spreading codes from the set of non-assigned PN spreading codes to a correlator of the RBU, and determining an amount of noise output from the correlator resulting from the use of the PN spreading code.

    摘要: A CDMA communication system is provided in which bit rates are dynamically allocated by a single CDMA receiving station to a plurality of CDMA transmitting stations, all of which are intercoupled to each other over a CDMA channel and a feedback channel. Each CDMA transmitting station includes a control circuit which sends control signals on the CDMA channel in spaced apart time intervals which request respective bit rates on the CDMA channel; and, the CDMA receiving station includes a bit rate allocating circuit which receives and responds to the control signals by sending feedback messages over the feedback channel that address individual CDMA transmitting stations and grant respective bit rates to the addressed station. In one preferred embodiment, each transmitting station includes a data buffer which stores a time varying number of data bytes that are to be sent, and each transmitting station requests respective bit rates on the CDMA channel by including that number in the control signals.
