摘要:
A Time Division Duplex (TDD), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) communication system includes a plurality of Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) and an Access Point (AP) that communicate through RF links. A CPE contains a receiver baseband subsystem and a transmitter baseband subsystem, and further contains receiver circuitry operable during a receive period for receiving an RF carrier from the AP and for deriving a receiver tracking signal that is indicative of a frequency and phase shift between the received RF carrier and a reference signal. The receiver circuitry further includes a frequency to phase accumulator (FPA) and a digital phase shifter (DPS) for correcting the frequency and phase of a receiver baseband signal by an amount and in a direction indicated by the receiver tracking signal. CPE transmitter circuitry is operable during a next transmission period for operating the FPA and DPS circuitry to correct the frequency of a transmitter baseband signal by an amount indicated by the receiver tracking signal, and in a direction opposite to the direction indicated by the receiver tracking signal.

Users or subscribers of a multi-user communications system, such as a spread spectrum communications system, provide signals to the central station or base unit of that system, and receive signals therefrom. Avoidance of interference among those users' signals is needed to ensure proper operation of the system. To do so, the data of each user is individually scrambled to randomize the data that different users are transmitting, in order to improve tracking performance at a receiver. The data of each user is scrambled independently, in a manner unique to that user in the system, in order to improve tracking performance and detection performance of a receiver. This scrambling makes the multi-user interference zero mean, and makes it possible to integrate out or average out the multi-user interference. The pattern or sequence used for this scrambling, and the pattern or sequence used for spreading here, are preferably identical except in frequency.

Disclosed is apparatus including circuitry for providing synchronizing clocks to a transmitter and a receiver of a subscriber unit (SU) that communicates with a radio base unit (RBU) in a synchronous CDMA communication system. The apparatus includes an accumulator for generating a digital signal having a changing magnitude. The accumulator is initialized to a value of a phase command received from the RBU. The apparatus further includes a first circuit having an input coupled to an output of the accumulator for converting a content of the accumulator to a synchronized receiver clock signal, wherein the accumulator content is periodically adjusted to maintain the receiver clock signal in synchronism with a serial bit stream received from the RBU. In accordance with this invention the apparatus further includes a summer circuit having an input coupled to the output of the accumulator for combining the content of the accumulator, representing the commanded receiver side phase difference from RBU timing, with a value of a transmitter timing offset commanded by the RBU. The summer circuit provides a summation signal to a second circuit that converts the summation signal to a synchronized transmitter clock signal. In accordance with this invention problems created by the use of two independent DDSs are avoided by effectively slaving the transmit side DDS to the receive side DDS, thus insuring that the transmit side phase is accurately aligned with the SU phase commanded by the RBU.
