Patent number: 6831905Abstract: A spread spectrum system having an assignor, a spread-spectrum processor and a transmitter. The assignor assigns each arriving information signal to a message-code signal. Each message-code signal is different then other message-code signals. The spread-spectrum processor generates a pilot code signal and processes the information signals with the message-code signals to generate spread-spectrum process-message signals synchronized to the pilot-code signal. A transmitter combines the spread-spectrum process-message signals and the pilot-code signal to generate a CDM signal. The transmitter modulates the CDM signal with a carrier signal for transmission over the communications channel.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2000Date of Patent: December 14, 2004Assignee: InterDigital Technology CorporationInventors: Gary Lomp, John Kowalski, Fatih Ozluturk, Avi Silverberg, Robert Regis, Michael Luddy, Alexander Marra, Alexander Jacques

Patent number: 6801516Abstract: A spread-spectrum system having an assignor, a spread-spectrum processor, a call processor, and an information-channel-mode modifier. The assignor assigns each information signal arriving at the spread-spectrum system to a message-code signal. Each of the message-code signals supports a pre-determined information-channel rate. Several information signals have different channel rates, and each information signal is assigned according to the required channel rate. The spread-spectrum processor generates a pilot-code signal, and spread-spectrum processes the information signals with the message-code signals to generate a plurality of spread-spectrum processed-message signals, respectively. The message-code signals are synchronized to the pilot-code signal. The call processor provides a call-type signal corresponding to the information signal rate for the several information signals having several different channel rates.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2000Date of Patent: October 5, 2004Assignee: InterDigital Technology CorporationInventors: Gary Lomp, John Kowalski, Fatih Ozluturk, Avi Silverberg, Robert Regis, Michael Luddy, Alexander Marra, Alexander Jacques

Publication number: 20030193914Abstract: A multiple access, spread-spectrum communication system processes a plurality of information signals received by a Radio Carrier Station (RCS) over telecommunication lines for simultaneous transmission over a radio frequency (RF) channel as a code-division-multiplexed (CDM) signal to a group of Subscriber Units (SUs). The RCS receives a call request signal that corresponds to a telecommunication line information signal, and a user identification signal that identifies a user to receive the call. The RCS includes a plurality of Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) modems, one of which provides a global pilot code signal. The modems provide message code signals synchronized to the global pilot signal. Each modem combines an information signal with a message code signal to provide a CDM processed signal. The RCS includes a system channel controller is coupled to receive a remote call.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2001Publication date: October 16, 2003Inventors: Gary Lomp, John Kowalski, Fatih Ozluturk, Avi Silverberg, Robert Regis, Michael Luddy, Alexander Marra, Alexander Jacques

Publication number: 20030138030Abstract: A configurable cellular terminal engine (CTE) in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of this invention is configurable by an external agent (e.g., microcontroller, DSP, or state machine) to suit the particular requirements of different spread spectrum systems. In an exemplary embodiment, the CTE comprises on a chipset a modem unit and a channel codec unit. The modem unit has a front end unit for coupling to an antenna; a matched filter searchers unit coupled at least to the front end unit; a searchers unit coupled to at least the front end unit; a finger processing unit coupled to the front end unit; a parameter estimation processor unit coupled to at least the finger processing unit and the searchers unit; and a transmitter unit. The channel codec unit has a channel decoder unit coupled at least to the finger processing unit; and a channel encoder coupled at least to the transmitter unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2002Publication date: July 24, 2003Inventors: Stratis Gavnoudias, Joseph Boccuzzi, Alexander Jacques, Raj M.

Publication number: 20020048267Abstract: In a TDD wireless communication system between transmitters and associated receivers, automatic gain control of a receiver is only applied during the corresponding time slot within the TDD signal time frame architecture. Successive received signal strengths are measured and gain levels are stored as estimates for an initial gain level in future time slots of the TDD signal. Estimating techniques, such as averaging or trending of received signal strength over successive time slots, and averaging or trending of gain level settings, provide improved estimation of future initial gain levels.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2001Publication date: April 25, 2002Applicant: InterDigital Technology CorporationInventors: Alexander Jacques, Leonid Kazakevich, Avi Silverberg
