Spread spectrum mobile station for simultaneously receiving and processing multiple channels of data
Patent number: 6577672Abstract: A spread spectrum mobile station receives a multichannel data communication signal. The multichannel data communication signal has multiple data channels at independent data rates on a same frequency spectrum. Selected channels of data of the received signal are separated and the data rate for each channel identified. Each separated channel is decoded at an assigned data rate. A common decoding memory is shared.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2002Date of Patent: June 10, 2003Assignee: InterDigital Technology CorporationInventor: John D. Kaewell, Jr. -

Publication number: 20030086435Abstract: A subscriber cluster unit for a wireless telecommunication system provides a wireless interface with a base station for a plurality of subscriber units. The cluster unit has a plurality of frequency agile modems for processing wireless communications with the base station and a plurality of subscriber line circuits, each for providing a telecommunication connection with a subscriber unit. A control processor assigns a modem for each communication between the base station and a selected subscriber unit which is coupled to one of the line circuits and associates that line circuit with the assigned modem for that communication. Thus, a subscriber unit coupled with any of the line circuits can communicate with the base station via any of the modems.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2002Publication date: May 8, 2003Applicant: InterDigital Technology CorporationInventors: David M. Cooley, Joseph J. DiGiovanni, John D. Kaewell, Scott D. Kurtz, Mark A. Lemmo, Michael W. Regensburg, David Vessal, Eric Johns

Patent number: 6496488Abstract: A power-conserving time division multiple access (TDMA) radio telephone system is disclosed in which a cluster of subscriber stations, remote from a base station, employs a common pool of frequency-agile modems each of-which digitally synthesizes, on a timeSlot-by-timeSlot basis, the different channel-identifying intermediate frequencies needed to support communications between several of the subscriber stations and the base station. Power conservation is facilitated inter alia by controlling the assignment of modems to calls, maintaining unassigned modems in a powered-down state and by controlling the number of calls using the same time slot. Delay in assigning a powered-down modem to a call is eliminated by making available to all modems the highest quality synchronization information obtained by any of the active modems.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2000Date of Patent: December 17, 2002Assignee: InterDigital Technology CorporationInventors: David M.

Patent number: 6404828Abstract: A decoder decodes a plurality of received convolutionally encoded date signals simultaneously. At least two of the encoded data signals have a different data rate. The decoder receives undecoded I and Q symbols from the plurality of encoded data signals and outputs Euclidian distances corresponding to each encoded signal. Each data signal's distances are mapped on to a trellis. To output decoded symbols of each data signal, decisions are traced back in each data signal's trellis.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2001Date of Patent: June 11, 2002Assignee: InterDigital Technology CorporationInventor: John D.
