DETECTION OF CODE VECTORS IN SINGLE FREQUENCY, MULTIPLE TRANSMITTER NETWORKS

摘要

A receiver receives a signal which contains a code vector. The code vector is a member of a predetermined set of code vectors. The code vectors may be Kerdock code vectors. The receiver produces a transform, such as a Walsh transform, of the received signal. The transform contains a coefficient corresponding to each of at least some of the code vectors of the predetermined set of code vectors. The receiver determines data elements transmitted as the received code vector based upon the magnitudes of the coefficients of the transform. When plural code vectors are transmitted, the receiver determines data elements transmitted as a first code vector based upon the magnitudes of the coefficients of the transform, subtracts the first code vector from the received signal, produces a new transform of the subtraction results, and determines data elements transmitted as another code vector based upon the magnitudes of the coefficients of the new transform, and so on.
