Code division multiple access messaging system for providing seed information based on times of inbound messages

摘要

A base station (15) for receiving and processing a spread spectrum signal includes a memory (520) for storing the spread spectrum signal and a processor (525) coupled to the memory (520) for processing the spread spectrum signal to decode information included therein and for determining an information type. Timing circuitry (555, 560, 565) coupled to the memory (520) and the processor (525) generates a time value indicative of a reception time of the spread spectrum signal, wherein the time value is stored in the memory (520) when the information type is determined to correspond to a communication initiation signal.
