Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A code division multiple access communication system transmits a pilot and traffic signal over a shared spectrum. The pilot and traffic signal have an associated code and are received over the shared spectrum. The received signals are sampled and the samples are delayed to produce a window. A weighted value for each despread pilot code window sample is determined using an adaptive algorithm. Each window sample is despread with a traffic code. Each despread traffic code window sample is weighted according to a weight corresponding to its respective pilot code sample.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A base station comprising: a plurality of antennas; circuitry configured to produce a plurality of pilot signals; wherein a different pilot signal of the plurality of pilot signals is transmitted on each of the plurality of antennas; wherein each of the pilot signals is derived from at least a portion of a first pseudo noise (PN) sequence and the at least a portion of the first PN sequence bits for each of the pilot signals is different; wherein the…
