Abstract:
(57) Abstract Optimal code sequences are generated for use in spreading and de-spreading functions in a code division multiple access (CDMA) communications system. In particular, a family of quadriphase spreading codes is employed that provides a maximal number of spreading codes to achieve a high capacity in the CDMA communications system while at the same time having a minimal peak cross-correlation between any two spreading codes within that family to ensure cross-correlation interference is kept at or below acceptable levels. That optimal quadriphase spreading code family is the S(2) family of four phase code sequences of length L = 2 , where m is an integer greater than or equal to 5. The size of the S(2) family of quaternary spreading codes is (L + 2)(L + 1) , and the maximum cross-correlation is 1 + 4 2ROOT (L + 1). The spreading codes are preferably allocated to base stations using specific code subsets of the S(2) family having the same cross-correlation properties of the S(0) and/or S(1) family of codes. Spreading codes are advantageously extended by one or more code symbols as necessary or otherwise desirable. For example, to support variable transmission rate services, it is desirable to employ spreading codes whose length may be expressed as an integer multiple of each spreading factor in the mobile communications system. Since individual spreading codes have a length of 2 1, one code symbol is added to the generated spreading code.

Abstract:
The spread-spectrum code synchronizing speed of a down control channel is improved. The spectra of a control channel information signal and each communication channel information signal are spread by using different first spread-spectrum codes having the repetitive periods of information symbol periods from each first spread-spectrum code (short code) generating section (11). Then only the spectrum of the control channel information signal is spread by using third spread-spectrum codes which are complex conjugation of a common long code (second spread-spectrum code) to be spread from a third spread-spectrum code (complex conjugate code of a long code mask section) generating section (12). Thereafter, the signals of all channels are added at an adequate timing by an adder (13), the spectrum of the output of the adder (B) is spread by using second spread-spectrum codes from a second spread-spectrum code generating section (14), and the spread-spectrum signal is outputted as a spread modulated signal.
Abstract:
A multiple access, spread-spectrum communication system processes a plurality of information signals received by a Radio Carrier Station (RCS) over telecommunication lines for simultaneous transmission over a radio frequency (RF) channel as a code-division-multiplexed (CDM) signal to a group of Subscriber Units (SUs). The RCS receives a call request signal that corresponds to a telecommunication line information signal, and a user identification signal that identifies a user to receive the call. The RCS includes a plurality of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) modems, one of which provides a global pilot code signal. The modems provide message code signals synchronized to the global pilot signal. Each modem combines an information signal with a message code signal to provide a CDM processed signal. The RCS includes a system channel controller coupled to receive a remote call. An RF transmitter is connected to all of the modems to combine the CDM processed signals with the global pilot code signal to generate a CDM signal. The RF transmitter also modulates a carrier signal with the CDM signal and transmits the modulated carrier signal through an RF communication channel to the SUs. Each SU includes a CDMA modem which is also synchronized to the global pilot signal. The CDMA modem despreads the CDM signal and provides a despread information signal to the user. The system includes a closed loop power control system for maintaining a minimum system transmit power level for the RCS and the SUs, and system capacity management for maintaining a maximum number of active SUs for improved system performance.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus and computer programs are provided for multiplication-free identification of the impulse response of an oversampled data channel (3). An input ( a ) comprising a pseudo-random binary sequence of L symbols is supplied to the channel (3) at a symbol rate of 1/T. A channel output ( z ) is produced by sampling a channel output signal corresponding to the input (a) with a sampling interval T s = (q/p)T, where q and p are relative prime integers with q P(j)) are produced from the channel output ( z ) by selecting, for each polyphase sequence ( P(j)) , every p th sample of the channel output ( z ), with a phase shift of one sample between successive polyphase sequences ( p(j) ). A decimated binary sequence ( b ) is produced by selecting every q th symbol of the channel input ( a ). Each polyphase sequence ( p(j) ) is correlated with the decimated binary sequence ( b ), the two possible binary values being of equal magnitude and opposite sign for the correlation. The correlation results are accumulated to produce a correlated output sequence ( c(j) ) for that polyphase sequence (p(j) ). The samples of the correlated output sequences ( c(j) ) are then interleaved in phase order of the corresponding polyphase sequences ( p(j) ) to produce the impulse response of the channel.
Abstract:
A base station (101) receives a communication signal subjected to spectrum spreading with a spreading code unique to the signal and transmitted from a mobile station unit (110), and CAL signals each subjected to spectrum spreading with a spreading code unique to the CAL signal, transmitted from a CAL radio signal generator (120) for a predetermined time for each unit frame, and multiplexed in the same frequency band. A/D convering/despreading sections (106, 107) extract the communication signal and the CAL signal from the received signal. A calibrating section (108) performs calibration using the CAL signals parallel with communication using the communication signal. An array synthesizing/signal processing section (109) demodulates the communication signal using the calibration results.

Abstract:
Spread spectrum communication techniques and applications using signature sequences are described to reduce the effects of certain transmission impairments such as co-channel interference, multiple access interference and intersymbol interference. Signature sequences with structured properties are obtained by generating cosets from a seed set of sequences, constructing a subset of sequences by concatenating the sequences of a coset and constructing a full set of sequences by concatenating the subsets of sequences.
