<p>A plurality of modulated signals are generated for a data stream. Each modulated signal, which contains all of the information in the data stream, is generated at a different carrier frequency. The modulated signals are combined for transmission as a multi-band signal. In one embodiment, the modulated signals are compatible with signals generated in accordance with the IS-95 telecommunications standard. According to this embodiment, wideband data streams are combined with code sequences that are based on the same Walsh code sequences used to generate IS-95 signals. Each wideband data stream is encoded using either a particular Walsh code sequence or its logical negation to generate one coded stream for each carrier frequency used to generate the IS-95 signals. Each coded stream is then modulated at one of the carrier frequencies using spread-spectrum modulation to generate one of a plurality of modulated signals for that wideband data stream, where each modulated signals contains all of the information in the original wideband data stream. Through systematic assignment of Walsh code sequences and their logical negations, and through appropriate spread-spectrum modulation of the wideband data, the resulting multi-band modulated signal for each wideband data stream is assured of being orthogonal to all other such multi-band modulated signals, as well as orthogonal to every IS-95 signal. As such, the invention increases both the user and data-rate capacities of an IS-95 network without requiring any additional carrier frequencies or code sequences beyond those already supported by the IS-95 network. <IMAGE></p> |
