    Abstract: A system and method for adaptively sectorizing channel resources within a digital cellular communication system is disclosed herein. The system includes an antenna arrangement for providing at least first and second electromagnetic beams for receiving a first information signal transmitted by a specific one of a plurality of users, thereby generating first and second received signals. A first set of beam-forming signals are then generated from the first and second received signals. A demodulating receiver is provided for demodulating at least first and second beam-forming signals included within the first set of beam-forming signals, thereby producing first and second demodulated signals. The system further includes a tracking network for tracking multipath information signals, received from various positions and angles of incidence, based on comparison of the first and second demodulated signals.

    Abstract: A decoding method and apparatus include providing capability for decoding data symbols that were encoded in a transmitter by either a serial-concatenated code or turbo code in a parallel processing fashion. The receiver upon knowing the encoding method may reconfigure the selection of data symbols from a table to accommodate the appropriate decoding process. Initially a data symbol estimate for a number of data symbols of a plurality of data symbols Xi, Yi, and Wi are determined. The estimates of data symbols Xi, Yi, and Wi passing to a first and second decision nodes include estimates for the variables in one or more encoding equations. A new estimate for the data symbol Xi is determined based on the estimate determined at the initial step and the new estimate for each occurrence of the data symbol Xi at the first and second decision nodes. After normalizing estimates of data symbols Xi, Yi, and Wi, a new estimate for data symbol Xi may be determined which holds more confidently a true value for the data symbol Xi than a previously determined estimate.

    Abstract: A method for generating a message authentication code (MAC) includes the steps of distributing the bits of a message into a larger message in accordance with a pseudorandom number distribution format. The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits of the larger message are computed and used as the MAC for the message. The larger message need not be created. The remainder modulo the CRC polynomial of a polynomial x , where i is the intended bit position in the "larger message", is calculated. An exclusive-OR(XOR) operation is performed, bit by bit, on the CRC and the calculated remainder to derive the new CRC.
