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:
A communication transmission emulator digitally emulates a plurality of signal impairments created by the transmission components and communication medium in a typical communication system. A variety of linear and non-linear distortion characteristics are impressed on a baseband signal between transmit and receive modems to effect thorough testing and optimization of modem performance without requiring transmission frequency components and/or communication channel. The communication transmission emulator comprises transmission channel transmit modules, receive modules and communication media modules. Transmit and receive modules accepting or outputting analogue or digital signals. The transmission emulator is configurable to allow a simulation of a single channel communication; a simulation of a full duplex communication; a simulation of a common base station receiver with multiple users transmitting and a simulation of a base station transmitter with multiple users receiving, all configurations with or without the communication media emulator module. The communication media modules simulate multipath signal components and distortions for the chosen medium.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for managing capacity in a spread spectrum communication system including a base station and a plurality of subscriber stations. SOLUTION: The base station includes the processes for: measuring the transmission power levels of a connection channel and a plurality of message channels; comparing the transmission power levels with a first prescribed power value to generate a power comparison result value; and setting a traffic connection value in the first prescribed value to interrupt the transmission of an allocated channel and the message channels of each of the subscriber stations when the transmission power level is consequently equal to or more than the prescribed power value. Each of the subscriber stations includes the processes for: allocating a transmission power level to measure a channel and a message channel; comparing the transmission power level with a second prescribed value; and displaying a maximum power state in the base station when one transmission power level is equal to or more than the second prescribed value. The base station further includes a process for interrupting the transmission of the allocated channel and message channel of each of the subscriber stations in response to the maximum power state.

Abstract:
The invention provides a spread spectrum communication system for maintaining an initial transmit power level of a communication station during periods of inactivity. The system comprises a first station (501) and a second station (502), the initial transmit power level of which is maintained, wherein the first station generates an automatic power control signal by comparing a measured noise power level in a communication channel and an estimated system transmit power level and the second station occasionally transmits a spread spectrum signal whilst in an inactive state and receives the automatic power control signal to adjust an initial transmit power level thereof.
