A communication system 20 uses TDMA techniques to distinguish intended recipients of a communication signal 26 from one another, and direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) techniques to encode and distinguish diverse parallel substreams 70 and 74 of each user's data stream. Parallel unspread substreams 70 are spread using cyclic variations of a common spreading code 38 . In one embodiment, the common spreading code 38 is chosen for low aperiodic autocorrelation sidelobes and a substantially flat spectral analysis. In another embodiment the common spreading code 38 is chosen for low periodic autocorrelation sidelobes and a substantially flat spectral analysis. In one embodiment, the use of cyclic variations of the spreading code 38 along with a cyclic prefix 114 enables the mathematical communicative matrix multiplication property, thereby permitting equalization for multipath to occur following or in conjunction with despreading.
