    摘要: Characteristics of the radio channel are used to establish pseudorandom sequences for use in communicating information. These characteristics are the short-term reciprocity and rapid spatial decorrelation of phase of the radio channel. Due to the reciprocal nature of these radio channel characteristics, the transceivers which are communicating via the radio channel will generally both determine the same sequence. Although the determined sequences are not always sufficiently random for use in pseudorandom functions, a randomness tester can be provided to discard those sequences which are not sufficiently random. Exemplary pseudorandom communication functions include the selection of a spreading sequence in CDMA systems and the selection of a hopping sequence in a TDMA or CDMA system.

    摘要: Characteristics of a communication channel are used to establish key sequences for use in encrypting communicated information. In one embodiment, these characteristics are the impedances of the channel viewed from one transceiver to the other and vice versa. The keys can be established with computations equivalent to a bounded distance decoding procedure, and the decoder used to establish a key may be used for processing the subsequent data transmission. Compared to classical and public-key cryptographic systems, an alternative mechanism for establishing and sharing key sequences that depends on a physical process is provided in which each party need not generate a pseudo-random quantity because the necessary randomness is provided by the properties of the communication channel itself. By using a channel decoder, the probability of two users establishing the same secret key is substantially unity, and the probability of an eavesdropper establishing the same key is substantially zero. Also, the number of possible keys is large enough that finding the correct one by exhaustive search is impractical.

    摘要: Diversity and inter-frequency mobile-assisted handoff (MAHO) are achieved under continuous reception cellular access methods by using strategic timing and switching optimizations. Strategic timing is achieved by avoiding the non-reception of power control bits. For example, the mobile terminal can make measurements for diversity in the last eight bits of a sub-frame of an IS-95 downlink transmission. Switching is optimized, for example, by storing rake taps for a first antenna prior to switching to a second antenna so that the rake tap positions can be restored upon returning to the first antenna. With these and other disclosed measurement techniques, the benefits of diversity and inter-frequency MAHO can be achieved in continuous reception cellular systems.

    摘要: A fading compensation apparatus and method are provided in which blocks of the analog AM signal (e.g., voice) are time-compressed at a transmitter. Gaps in the time-compressed signal are filled with pilot symbols (or similar complex waveforms) having known characteristics, such as predetermined amplitudes. The time-compressed analog AM signal (e.g., SSB or VSB) is transmitted over the fading channel. At an analog AM receiver, an estimate of the fading that occurred in the transmission channel is made by observing the amplitude of the received pilot symbols at discrete points in time, and interpolating to determine the amount of fading that occurred across the total transmitted signal. A fading compensator compares the received faded time-compressed signal with the interpolation results, and adjusts the amplitude and phase of the received signal accordingly to compensate for the fading that occurred in the transmission channel. The compensated analog AM signal is time expanded and output to a user.

    摘要: The disclosure presents a number of reduced complexity architectures for despreading direct sequence spread spectrum communications signals. In a first despreading architecture for a sequence removal unit, received chip-spaced complex samples are negated in accordance with the processed phase of a complex spreading sequence. Furthermore, the in-phase and quadrature phase sample values are switched for each other in accordance with the processed phase. In a second despreading architecture, in a sequence removal unit, received chip-spaced complex samples are processed in the logarithmic domain, with the phase of the complex spreading sequence added to the detected phase, and the resulting complex signal then converted back to Cartesian coordinates. In a third despreading architecture for a correlator, sequence removal and correlation are performed in the logarithmic domain with the amplitudes and phases for the resulting complex signal arithmetically averaged and then converted back to Cartesian coordinates. architecture also for a correlator, sequence removal and correlation are performed in the logarithmic domain using circular averaging. In a fifth despreading architecture also for a correlator, wherein multiple component sequences are combined together to form an overall sequence, and wherein one of the multiple component sequences is shared by all channels, a common sequence removal is provided for removal of the shared sequence from all channels. The resulting signals are then sent to a plurality of individual correlators for removal of channel specific sequences.

    摘要: A method and associated circuitry for initiating communication between a network station and a user terminal of a radiotelephonic communication system, such as a satellite-cellular communication system. When communication is to be initiated, a paging signal is transmitted by a network station to the user terminal. When the user terminal detects the paging signal, an acknowledgment signal is generated by the user terminal and encoded to increase the margin of the acknowledgment signal. Upon reception, the acknowledgment signal is correlated using a multiplicity of correlators. An increased margin acknowledgment signal acknowledging reception of the paging signal is transmitted to facilitate communication of the acknowledgment signal back to the network station.

    摘要: A method and system for increasing the signal margin of a radiocommunication link to provide a short message service which is reliable, even under non-ideal conditions. According to the method, short alphanumeric messages can be transmitted over the broadcast control channel of a digital radiocommunication link, or another communication channel consisting of one or more slots from successive frames in a TDMA communication link. An increase in transmission power is used in combination with repetition to increase effective signal margin without complications in the mobile unit design, significant delay, or co-channel interference. Where a more significant increase in signal margin is desired, when a longer message is required, or for voice messages, the message may be stored and the mobile unit alerted of the message.
