United States Patent6141373

Inventor(s)Scott; Logan (Breckenridge, CO)
AbstractIn a first embodiment of the invention, a concatenated preamble code is formed by a kronecker product between two subcodes of the same or different lengths. The subcodes have favorable correlation properties and may be Barker codes, minimum peak sidelobe codes, Gold codes, Kasami codes, Boztas codes, or other codes. At the receiver a two-stage processor is used to detect the concatenated preamble code. The two-stage processor comprises a series of two filters, one of which is preferably a mismatched filter. In another aspect of the invention, a repeated codeword preamble is formed from a series of the same repeated short subcode. The short subcode may be an augmented or truncated odd-length code. At the receiver a single matched filter is preferably used to generate a series of spikes separated by the period of the subcode. An alert/confirm detector non-coherently adds together individual correlation spikes and reject false alarms. The alert function measures total correlation energy and adjusts detection thresholds based thereon, while the confirm function ensures that the proper number of correlation spikes exceed a detection threshold at the correct times. The preamble codes and their means for detection are preferably employed in a TDMA spread spectrum communication system, wherein a plurality of user stations communicate with a base station, one in each time slot (or virtual time slot).
