METHOD FOR RECEIVING COMMUNICATION SIGNALS HAVING DIFFERING SPREADING FACTORS

摘要

A method for the simultaneous reception of data from multiple sources having different spreading factors. A plurality of transmission response matrices are generated and grouped together for equal spreading factors. A plurality of spreading factor group matrices are assembled. A base matrix is formed based upon the spreading factor group matrix having a lowest spreading factor. An additional spreading factor group matrix is selected for consideration. Column placement reference index for the base matrix is derived. A reference location for the base matrix is derived. A column set from the selected spreading factor group matrix is derived. The column set is inserted into the base matrix. A total transmission response matrix is assembled.
