    Abstract: The invention presented is a novel method and apparatus for generating PN sequences with an arbitrary number of bits, where the number of bits is provided in parallel with each clock pulse. This allows the sequences to be generated at high speed when needed, and allows parallel processing in the acquisition and demodulation processes. In the invention, the initial values of states are loaded into registers of a parallel PN generator, which immediately generates the next n bits of the PN sequence, where n is an arbitrary number dependent on performance required. Then, a first sub-part of the PN generator of the present invention receives the present state of the PN generator and outputs the state of the PN generator n bits in the future. The output of this first sub-part is then provided to a second sub-part of the generator, which generates the next n bits of the PN sequence. In this fashion, the entire PN sequence can be continuously generated. The PN generator also contains a control processor, coordinating co-operation between sub-systems.

    Abstract: A receiver system determines a current preamble threshold and a current preamble metric and determines whether a preamble is detected. If a preamble is detected, the receiver determines whether an earlier preamble has been detected in an earlier time slot having a common time slot interlace index, and resolves multiple detections of a preamble based on at least one of the current preamble and an old preamble thresholds, the current and an old preamble metrics. The receiver decodes data following the selected preamble and determines the CRC of the decoded data. If a CRC failure is detected, the receiver determines a new current preamble threshold. The new current preamble threshold is larger than the current preamble threshold. If the current preamble metric is larger than the new current preamble threshold, the receiver determines the CRC failure as an actual CRC failure, otherwise as a false CRC failure.

    Abstract: A resource scheduler in a communication system, the communication system including a common node and a plurality of customer nodes associated with the common node, the common node having at any particular service interval a finite resource seized by one or more engaging customer nodes to the exclusion of any remaining customer nodes, each of the customer nodes having an instantaneous rate of consuming the finite resource. The resource scheduler comprises logic for maintaining a weight associated with each of the customer nodes; logic for selecting one or more of the remaining customer nodes to seize the finite resource in a subsequent service interval based upon a comparison of the weight associated with the selected remaining customer nodes and the respective weights associated with the other remaining customer nodes, the subsequent service interval following a present service interval in which the finite resources are seized by one or more engaging customer nodes; and logic for changing the weight of the selected customer node based upon the instantaneous rate at which the selected customer node consumes the finite resource. The resource scheduler further includes logic for determining a duration of an override time interval, the override time interval having a beginning and an end, associated with at least one customer node based upon a minimum average rate of consuming the finite resource associated with the at least one customer node and the instantaneous rate of consuming the finite resource associated with the at least one customer node; and logic for initializing the override time interval whenever the at least one customer node seizes the finite resource and whenever the override time interval ends, wherein the logic for selecting schedules the at least one customer node to seize the finite resource in the subsequent service interval independent of the weights associated with the customer nodes when each override time interval ends. A corresponding method is also disclosed.
