    Abstract: A back haul architecture effectively reduces the reactivation times for both forward-link and reverse-link data transmissions over CDMA wireless communications systems, by relying on packet-mode transmissions over the back haul between a frame selection/distribution (FSD) function and the appropriate base stations for both forward-link data and reverse-link data. In particular, for the forward direction, the FSD function transmits forward-link data only to one base station (i.e., the primary base station), which is solely responsible for controlling the forward-link air interface with the corresponding mobile unit. As such, the forward link always operates in simplex mode for data transmissions, independent of how many base stations are operating in soft handoff for the reverse link with the same mobile unit. For the reverse direction, each base station that receives frames of reverse-link data from the mobile unit, assigns a time tag to the frame, divides the frame into one or more data packets, assigns a different sequence number to each data packet, and transmits the data packets to the FSD function over the back haul, all without first synchronizing time with any other base station that is also operating in reverse-link soft hand-off with that mobile unit. The FSD function (or preferably the radio link protocol (RLP) function) is then responsible for selecting packets of reverse-link data for subsequent processing (e.g., transmission to the network end of the connection). By limiting forward-link data transmissions to simplex mode and using packet-mode transmissions for reverse-link data, the need to first synchronize timing between the various base stations is eliminated for both forward-link and reverse-link data transmissions. As a result, reactivation delays are greatly reduced.

    Abstract: Apparatus for reducing power amplifier headroom in a wireless transmission system comprises an orthogonal modulation circuit (32,34) and a phase rotation circuit (70) coupled to the orthogonal modulation circuit. The orthogonal modulation circuit utilizes a Walsh code for modulating an in-phase signal and a quadrature signal. The orthogonal modulation circuit has an in-phase output (SI,K) and a quadrature output (SQ,K). The phase rotation circuit (70) rotates the phase of the in-phase signal and the quadrature signal, producing a phase rotated in-phase signal and a phase rotated quadrature signal. Multiple Walsh code defined channels are associated with a particular wireless user.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cellular communication system that is comprised of a plurality of base stations and radio ports that communicate over an air interface with a plurality of terminal devices, where the radio ports have asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) interfaces. A cellular switch is provided having circuit-switching fabric and vocoders, where the base stations are connected to the circuit-switching fabric by first communications links, and where the circuit-switching fabric is also connected to a public switched telephone network (PSTN). A cellular call control processor is associated with the cellular switch, that handles a voice call routed through the cellular switch. A digital cellular switch (DCS) having ATM fabric and radio link protocol processors is also provided, where the circuit switching fabric is connected to the ATM fabric by a second communications link via a converter that converts between the transmission format of the first communications links and ATM, the ATM fabric being connected to the radio ports by ATM virtual links. One or more standard hardware platforms implement ATM transport that perform a plurality of call control functions including the handling of data calls from/to the base stations and radio ports. A network interworking module interfaces the DCS to a communications network.
