Abstract: Mobile stations randomly set delay amounts for each message to be sent, on the basis of the timing of a symbol received from a base station, and delay transmission signals for time intervals corresponding to the delay amounts. The base station 11 despreads signals received from the mobile stations to extract basic symbol timing for each mobile station and, at the thus extracted timing, takes each despread output into the corresponding demodulator for demodulation.

Abstract: A base station and a mobile station in a mobile communication system capable of reducing interference among mobile stations and increasing a subscriber capacity of the system. The base station has a unit for measuring a measurement value for at least one of a receiving level and an interference ratio level of the mobile station transmission signals, and a unit for producing a mobile station transmission power control data specifying a mobile station transmission power required in adjusting the measurement value to a target level according to a number of base stations simultaneously in communication with the mobile station.

Abstract: In a mobile communication system which uses a code division multiple access (CDMA) scheme for communications between a base station and a plurality of mobile stations, the base station has a transmitting device in which a plurality of information sequences S1 through Sn are respectively spread by multipliers 11 through 1n with a common spreading code from a spreading code generator circuit 10, the spread codes are provided to transmitting timing control circuits 21 through 2n and then added by an adder 30 to perform transmitting timing offset multiplexing and then the spread signals are transmitted to the mobile stations at different transmitting timing. The mobile stations each have a receiving device which receives that one of the transmitted signals which was transmitted at timing predetermined for the mobile station and despreads the received signal with the same spreading code as that used in the transmitting device, thereby reconstructing the original information sequence concerned.
