Abstract: Transmitting and receiving compensation coefficients of each antenna element relative to a calibration antenna element are obtained in the pre-calibration of a smart antenna. After the antenna array is installed, in transmitting calibration, amplitude and phase response of each transmitting link is computed according to the calibration signals received by the calibration link and, together with the transmitting compensation coefficient obtained in the pre-calibration, the compensation coefficient of each transmitting link is computed to compensate the downlink data of a base station. In receiving calibration, the amplitude and phase response of each receiving link is computed based on the signals received by the receiving links and, together with the receiving compensation coefficient obtained in pre-calibration, the compensation coefficient of each receiving link is computed to compensate the uplink data of the base station.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method of applying a long cell-code in a joint detection system. At transmitters, multiples of the spreading code (spreading factor) is taken as the length of the long cell-code to scramble the signal, and at receivers, the method still takes the multiuser detection to process the received signal.

Abstract: A multiuser demodulation method for the variable spreading factor, and with this method the multiuser detection and variable spreading factor techniques can be used in the same system at the same time without increasing the demodulation computation volume and the system time-delay. When the transmitting side changes the physical code channel and uses variable spreading factor, at the receiving side the signal processing procedure is as follows: taking a low spreading factor to demodulate the received signals with the multiuser detection, intermediate demodulation result of the TFCI data and intermediate demodulation result of the user data are obtained; demodulate the intermediate demodulation result of the TFCI data with a fixed spreading factor or a variable spreading factor; from the demodulated intermediate demodulation result of TFCI data, a real spreading factor is obtained; process intermediate demodulation result of the user data with the real spreading factor to obtain the final received user data.
