DEVICE AND METHOD FOR GENERATING QUATERNARY COMPLEX QUASI-ORTHOGONAL CODE AND SPREADING TRANSMISSION SIGNAL USING QUASI-ORTHOGONAL CODE IN CDMA COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method for generating a quaternary complex quasi-orthogonal code in a CDMA communication system is disclosed. The method comprises generating an M-sequence and then generating specific sequences having a good full correlation property with the M-sequence; generating a column permutation function for converting the M-sequence to a Walsh code; generating candidate masks by column shifting the specific sequences with the column permutation function; generating quasi-orthogonal code representatives by operating the candidate masks and the Walsh codes having the same length as that of the candidate masks; and selecting a quasi-orthogonal code satisfying a partial correlation with the Walsh codes, out of the generated quasi-orthogonal code representatives, and selecting a mask related to generation of the selected quasi-orthogonal code.
