  • Patent number: 5548834
    Abstract: Several emitter stations (MS1-MS4) are allowed to transmit call set-up packets in random access channels and user information packets in traffic channels to a receiver station (BST) which is provided with an array of N sensors (A.sub.l -A.sub.N) and with a receiver (RM) adapted to simultaneously acquire N-1 packets from the emitting stations and to derive therefrom N-1 distinct array output signals (X.sub.1 -X.sub.N-1). During a random access channel (RACH) channel, the identity of the emitting station (MS) as well as the direction of arrival (.theta.) and the power (.sigma.) of its signal are stored in a parameter data base (PDB) together with its weigh vector (W) calculated (WVG) therewith and a traffic channel (TCH) channel allocated (CHC) thereto. During either a RACH or a TCH channel, the weight vectors of a emitting station are provided by the data base and are applied to multipliers (M.sub.1 -M.sub.N-1) which produce the N-1 array output signals.
