摘要:
A multipoint-to-point CDMA communication system comprises a plurality of CDMA transmitting stations and a single CDMA receiving station, all of which are intercoupled to each other over one CDMA channel and one feedback channel. On the one CDMA channel, the plurality of CDMA transmitting stations simultaneously send respective CDMA signals to the receiving station. In the receiving station, respective time differences are measured between a reference clock signal and the spreading codes in the CDMA signals from each of the CDMA transmitting stations; and these time differences are indicated in respective error signals which the CDMA receiving station sends on the feedback channel to each of the CDMA transmitting stations. Each CDMA station responds to its error signals by time shifting its spreading code such that it arrives in the receiving station in synchronization with the reference clock signal. This synchronization enables interference between the spreading codes at the receiving station to be reduced by using codes which have minimal cross-correlation when their time difference is zero; and consequently, the maximum number of stations that can simultaneously transmit is increased.

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.

Rain fade mitigation methods and data broadcast systems that provide improved performance in a rain fade environment. The systems distribute data derived from a transmitting processor by way of a data distribution system to one or more receivers located at remote locations. The transmitting processor may include forward error correction processing software that is used to add forward error correction bits to data packets to be transmitted. When error correction bits are added to the data prior to transmission, the receivers include forward error correction software that processes the received data packets to reconstruct the original data. Data packets with or without error correcting bits may be transmitted two times to the remote locations, which times are separated by a time delay having a duration that is related to a rain fade event, which time delay is sufficient to allow data reconstruction in the presence of the rain fade event. The data packets may also be transmitted to the remote locations at a relatively slow transmission rate such that the time required to transmit the data to the one or more remote locations is greater than or equal to the time necessary to transmit the data plus the amount of time equal to an average rain fade event. The data packets are received at the remote locations and appropriately processed to reconstruct the original data.

Systems and methods for transferring very large data files to a remote location. The systems and methods fragment the very large data file into smaller ordered blocks using file conversion software loaded onto a computer processor. The ordered fragmented files or blocks transmitted to the remote location using a data distribution system. For example, the data distribution system may include a transmitter, a satellite transmission link, and a receiver at each remote location. At each remote location, received ordered fragmented files or blocks are reassembled in accordance with the original ordering scheme using file conversion software loaded on a computer. This produces the original very large data file. Once the very large data file is reassembled, it may be processed or archived.
