Abstract: Demodulation of a received high rate CDMA wireless signal is obtained by filtering a complex received signal to provide a complex pilot filter signal. The complex pilot filter signal is then use to phase-adjust a set of demodulated subscriber channel signals.

Abstract: A system and method for dynamically varying traffic channel sectorization within a spread spectrum communication system is disclosed herein. In a preferred implementation, the system is operative to convey information to at least one specified user in a spread spectrum communication system and includes a first network for generating, at a predetermined chip rate, a first pseudorandom noise (PN) signal of a first predetermined PN code. The first PN signal is then combined with a first information signal in order to provide a resultant first modulation signal. The system further includes a second network for providing a second modulation signal by delaying the first modulation signal by a predetermined delay inversely related to the PN chip rate. A switching transmission network is disposed to selectively transmit the first and second modulation signals respectively to first and second coverage areas.
Abstract: A portable communications device and accessory system which enables both voice and control commands to be communicated between a portable communication device and external accessories over a single flexible digital interface. When the portable communication device is interfaced to external accessories, such as a power booster and hands-free kit, a microprocessor configures the serial communications bus to pass both the digital voice data and digital control commands to and from the external power booster and the hands-free kit. The external hands-free kit contains its own auxiliary CODEC for encoding analog voice signals and decoding the digital voice data. When the portable communication device is not interfaced with external accessories, the microprocessor configures the serial communication bus to pass the digital voice data to and from an internal CODEC for use with the portable device's own microphone and speaker.
