Abstract:
The present invention provides a method, system, subscriber unit, and base/headend unit for a bandwidth efficient multiple user digital communication system that facilitates multiple user reverse link communication using overlapped transmit signal spectra of at least two overlap bandwidth subscriber units. Overlap bandwidth subscriber units receive a forward link signal, each deriving a frequency reference from the forward link signal and a symbol timing reference from the forward link signal, and transmitting a reverse link signal to the base/headend unit that receives a composite reverse link signal of the reverse link signals. Each reverse link signal includes at least one modulated data carrier with distinct carrier frequencies. Each transmitted reverse link signal has a symbol timing responsive to the symbol timing reference, and the frequency spectra of the reverse link signals overlap using overlapped transmit signal spectra of at least two overlap bandwidth subscriber units.

The present invention provides a system for a method, system (300), subscrib er unit (320, 330), and base/headend unit (310) for a bandwidth efficient multiple user digital communication system (300) that facilitates multiple user reverse link communication using overlapped transmit signal spectra of at least two overlap bandwidth subscriber units (320, 330). Overlap bandwidth subscriber units (320, 330) receive a forward link signal, each deriving a frequency reference from the forward link signal and a symbol timing referen ce from the forward link signal, and transmitting a reverse link signal to the base/headend unit (310) that receives a composite reverse link signal of the reverse link signals. Each reverse link signal includes at least one modulat ed data carrier with distinct carrier frequencies. Each transmitted reverse lin k signal has a symbol timing responsive to the symbol timing reference, and th e frequency spectra of the reverse link signals overlap using overlapped transmit signal spectra of at least two overlap bandwidth subscriber units (320, 330).
Abstract:
The present invention provides a communication system (100), device (200), and method of reverse link symbol timing synchronization of transmitted signals to facilitate reverse link timing synchronization. A base unit (204) transmits a forward link signal (160) and determines a timing offset for signals received on a reverse link synchronization channel (150). A plurality of multicarrier subscriber units (202) receive a forward link signal (160) and transmits a reverse link symbol timing synchronization burst on a reverse link channel (160).
