Initial synchronization DS-CDMA asynchronous cellular system

摘要

Cells are searched at a high speed using an initial synchronization method and a receiver for a DS-CDMA inter base station asynchronous cellular system. A base band received signal is input to a matched filter 1 and is correlated with a spread code supplied from a spread code generator 2. A signal electric power calculator 3 calculates the electric power of the correlation output of the matched filter 1, and outputs the result to a long code synchronization timing determiner 4, a threshold value calculator 5, and a long code identifier 6. During the initial cell search, the spread code generator 2 outputs a short code #0 that is common to the control channel of each of the base stations. After the long code synchronization timing has been determined, each of the segments of the N chips which constitutes a portion of the synthesized spread code sequence synthesized from a long code #i that is unique to each of the base stations and the short code #0 is sequentially replaced and output.
