  • Patent number: 7668225
    Abstract: At transmission, the data to be transmitted is divided into N data blocks, these N blocks are processed in parallel in N M-ary orthogonal keying (MOK) modulation channels, each modulation using a group of spread codes, each channel emitting a signal. All of these signals are transmitted in series. At reception, the signal received is processed in N M-ary orthogonal keying (MOK) demodulation channels, and the blocks obtained are grouped together in series.

  • Patent number: 6813308
    Abstract: A receiver for transmission and parallel interference has multiple access interference suppression stages having K channels, each comprising a correlation device corresponding to a particular pseudorandom sequence and interference generation and suppression device. Each stage delivers to the following stage signals at least partly freed from multiple access interferences. A decision stage receives the signals from the channels of the preceding suppression stage. Each decision stage has a correlation device corresponding to one of the pseudorandom sequences and decision device to deliver data. Devices for producing synchronization signals can control the interference suppression and the decision device. The devices producing the synchronization signals have components placed in the channels of the final stage.

  • Patent number: 6748007
    Abstract: A method of processing a pulse response with an adaptive threshold and corresponding receiver. According to the method, an adaptive threshold is calculated that is a function of a maximum reached by the pulse response, noise, and a coefficient adjustable between 0 and 1. The processing only comes into operation for signals that exceed this threshold. Such a method may find application notably to digital radio-communications with spread spectrum.

  • Patent number: 6349109
    Abstract: In order to obtain the signals necessary for the formation of an interference signal corresponding to the multiple access noise, use is made both of the non-coherent part of the receiver, namely the differential demodulation device, and the coherent part thereof, namely the two matched filters performing the correlations. This gives a reliable, precise, clock symbol signal (Hs) and also the reconstituted data (D(I), D(Q)) and the amplitudes of the signals in the two channels (A(I), A(Q)). Formation then takes place of the correction signal by respreading the data (D(I), D(Q)) and the weighting the respread data by the amplitudes (A(I), A(Q)).

  • Patent number: 6347112
    Abstract: A circuit able to operate either as a direct sequence spread spectrum differential signal emitter, or as a generator of interference signals corresponding to multiple access noise. The circuit employs a clock signal formation and data processing module, a differential coding module, a multiplexing module, and a direct sequence spread module when operating as a spread spectrum emitter, and has an additional amplification-inversion module for use when generating an interference signal.

  • Patent number: 6335947
    Abstract: A method for processing a direct sequence spread spectrum signal, and a receiver for performing the method. A correlation is preformed between a received signal and the direct sequence used to determine peaks of different amplitudes. The spectrum of the information corresponding to the highest amplitude peak is respread using the direct sequence. The respread signal is subtracted from the received signal to create a new signal. This process is reiterated on the new signal until all of the peaks have been exhausted.
