Abstract:
A system and method of controlling transmission power during the establishment of a channel in a CDMA communication system utilize the transmission of a short code from a subscriber unit to a base station during initial power ramp-up. The short code is a sequence for detection by the base station which has a much shorter period than a conventional spreading code. The ramp-up starts from a power level that is guaranteed to be lower than the required power level for detection by the base station. The subscriber unit quickly increases transmission power while repeatedly transmitting the short code until the signal is detected by the base station. Once the base station detects the short code, it sends an indication to the subscriber unit to cease increasing transmission power. The use of short codes limits power overshoot and interference to other subscriber stations and permits the base station to quickly synchronize to the spreading code used by the subscriber unit.
Abstract:
A spread-spectrum system and method for providing high-capacity communications through multipath compensation, for automatically and adaptively controlling a mobile user's spread-spectrum transmitter power level when operating in a cellular communications network, and for providing variable or adjustable signal bandwidth capabilities in a spread-spectrum transmitter. Multipath compensation is accomplished using a plurality of filters (121-126), a plurality of multipliers (111-116), and a plurality of weighting devices (131-136), coupled through a first adder (120) and a second adder (130) to a decision device (150). The adaptive power control device of the present invention includes a base station having an AGC amplifier (228), despreader (231), comparator (239), power amplifier (237), delta modulator (235), multiplexer (234), combiner (236) and power measurement device (233). The adaptive power control device also includes a mobile station having a despreader (334), demultiplexer (339), demodulator (340), decision device (345), accumulator (346), step size algorithm device (344), variable gain device (341) and transmitter (342). The variable bandwidth device includes a chipping sequence generator (161), impulse generator (165), product device (164) and filter (166).

Abstract:
The present invention relates to communications for communication systems. The communication includes an antenna system which is coupled to an RF receiver/transmitter which in turn is coupled to other signal processing equipment including at least one modem for processing individual CDMA communications. Preferably the antenna system includes multiple antennas and delay units and outputs a combined signal having a known distortion imparted by the antenna system. The combined signal is in turn processed by the modem. The modem compensates for the known distortion in a manner which provides improved signal gain. The improved signal gain permits a reduction in transmit power and, accordingly, increased capacity of the CDMA system. Where the antenna system is to be remotely located from the signal processing equipment, separate units for the RF receiver/transmitter and the other signal processing equipment are provided so that the RF receiver/transmitter may also be remotely located along with the antenna system. Preferably a connecting cable of at least 20 feet is provided which supplies RF signals and DC power to the RF receiver/transmitter from the other signal processing equipment.
