A wireless communications adapts its mode of operation between spatial multiplexing and non-spatial multiplexing in response to transmission-specific variables. An embodiment of a wireless communications system for transmitting information between a base transceiver station and a subscriber unit includes mode determination logic. The mode determination logic is in communication with the base transceiver station and the subscriber unit. The mode determination logic determines, in response to a received signal, if a subscriber datastream should be transmitted between the base transceiver station and the subscriber unit utilizing spatial multiplexing or non-spatial multiplexing. In an embodiment, the mode determination logic has an input for receiving a measure of a transmission characteristic related to the received signal. In an embodiment, the mode determination logic includes logic for comparing the measured transmission characteristic to a transmission characteristic threshold and for selecting one of spatial multiplexing and non-spatial multiplexing in response to the comparison of the measured transmission characteristic to the transmission characteristic threshold. In an embodiment, the transmission characteristic includes at least one of delay spread, post-processing signal-to-noise ratio, cyclical redundancy check (CRC) failure, residual inter-symbol interference, mean square error, coherence time, and path loss. By adapting the mode of operation in response to transmission-specific variables, the use of spatial multiplexing can be discontinued in unfavorable conditions. Additionally, because the wireless communications system can adapt its mode of operation between spatial multiplexing and non-spatial multiplexing, the communications system is compatible with both subscriber units that support spatial multiplexing and subscriber units that do not support spatial multiplexing.

A spread spectrum code pulse position modulated communication system is disclosed. The communication system includes a spread spectrum code pulse position modulated receiver that compensates for the delay spread of a transmission medium, such as a wireless radio channel of a local area network. Delay spread may cause signal components of one transmitted spread spectrum codeword to spill over into chip positions of adjacent symbols, causing intersymbol interference, or into chip positions on quadrature channels of a given symbol interval, such as in a QPSK implementation, causing interchip interference. The disclosed receiver decodes a transmitted spread spectrum code pulse position modulated signal in the presence of such delay spread, utilizing a tentative symbol estimator to sample the matched filter data. The tentative symbol estimator will assign a weight to each potential symbol value, taking into account the cross-rail or bias influence caused by the residual coupling between the signals on quadrature channels for a given symbol duration. In addition, the disclosed receiver includes a mode sifter which evaluates the weighted values for each symbol estimate and assigns final estimates to each symbol value, taking into account the influence of codewords transmitted during one or more successive symbol intervals on one another.
