Abstract: Wireless communications have become ubiquitous for society with the availability of low cost front end transmitter and receiver circuits. Network operators strive to provide wireless signals with good Signal to Noise and Interference Ratio (SNIR) whilst increasing useable network capacity and bandwidth using maximum over-the-air data rate and controlling or minimizing over-the-air congestion. Historically this has been achieved via evolutions of network and consumer hardware, firmware, software and hence it would be beneficial to provide network operators with a means of increasing network capacity without requiring either additional hardware complexity and/or additional computational complexity in the receiving devices. The inventor has established a new domain within the network, the spreading code domain, to increase the data rate, by using spreading codes to map the data in conjunction with the constellation symbols and reduce the amount of transmitted data required.
