Abstract: A method for generating spread spectrum spreading sequences in communicating devices. A first device receives a first sequence of one or more signals from a second device, sends a second sequence of one or more signals to the second device, samples the first sequence of one or more signals, generates sampling results, and generates a spreading sequence based on the sampling results.

The spreading sequence may be used by the first and second devices for spread spectrum communications with each other. Gain for spread spectrum communications may be dynamically varied based on available bandwidth by varying the number of signals and sampling rate.
